and yeah, those prices i threw out werent prime, more like AAA. prime is usually upwards of 20/lb. 12/lb is prob a little high compared to some butchers. the places i go to are overpriced just cause they're the only ones i really know. i should check out supreme meats though.

i use fine sea salt for almost everything unless its curing or brining, then i bring out the coarse kosher salt because its a little cheaper. i still use table salt for baking though which i rarely do.
Nope, there is a "Grade A"


That actually makes it sound pretty crappy in comparison.
But the coloring and marbling I've saw makes it look much nicer than most (but not all) of what I see at Costco and the other supermarkets.

I'll confirm with Supreme the Grade of the beef when I pick some up. Pictures as well.


As for salt, I keep hearing that Sea Salt is expensive. I know there is some expensive sea salt options that I can get from specialty cooking shops, but I've also seen the $4/box Windsor sea salt @ superstore. For the most part, I'm using Windsor kosher salt because I like the texture.
