So I got my rib roast, and it was ok-ish. Not as nice as I saw last time.
I had a chat with some guy at Supreme Meats, I'm just assuming he was the retail manger, he looked like he was in charge, we've chatted a bit before. He said that the grades for the rib roast is minimal AA and sometimes up to AAA, it just depends on what they get. I was a little confused cause I thought everything was graded by inspectors before it leaves the slaughterhouse. Regardless, he said it's no Grade A and not prime, but what they get will always be something in between. It was less than $7/lb.
Here's how the meat looked. Pics are with a crappy phone-camera. It wasn't epic, but it was definitely good enough for me. As I've mentioned before, nicer than what the local supermarkets generally stock.
As for how it turned out, I rushed it so it was kinda screwed up. My friends have really low standards, especially if I do all the cooking
So they were happy enough with the meal, except I know it wasn't up to my standards.
Hope this helps you guys out a bit?
