U don't know that...they r lower grades of usda beef than select...i ain't saying u can't get a good no roll but your chancing it trust me


This is just my experience with box beef from Ibp, National, Excel, and Greater Omaha. On average a 5 loin case will have a couple decent loins, a couple of good loins and 1 trash. That's the only way I've ever bought/sold ribeye outside of a grocery store that already has them cut to grade for yourself.

I agree with this...and it may be worth it to buy a case and sort it out yourself...just not a single loin cuz chances r it might not be good

Once in a while you're going to get something edible when buying Ungraded beef, but your percentage of the time getting something decent is very low.

It's just like buying bottom quality anything...sometimes you get lucky ...but I'd say 90% of the time you're getting horrible quality meat versus graded..

My local grocery sells choice ribeyes but also sells "utility ribeyes" for a lesser price. What in the Sam hell is a utility ribeye?

It's part of their sport utility division. 😊

Utility, Cutter, and Canner
What It Means: These remaining three grades won't be appearing on any labels at the store (would you buy something called “Utility Meat?” ). They are from older cattle with no marbling, and used for really cheap ground beef, processed meat products like hot dogs, even dog food.

Yeah. That commercial is blowing up here. "Don't pay Omaha Steak prices!" Hard pass on this one.

Ex bought them a couple of times in the past and they were as good as some of the stakes I've gotten at Longhorns or Outback.

There are some small processors that have USDA inspection but the vast majority don’t unless that’s changed in the past decade. Most properly fed, proper age calves would grade out as Prime. Cutter grade stuff a lot of times is animals that are too old to grade better. I forget what age it is but maybe a calf has to be 16 months or younger to grade Prime. Has something to do with the ossification of bones or something like that to determine the age. Been too many years since my meat science classes at AU. A fat, adult killer cow or bull would likely have some Select grade beef. Cutter and Canner are rough tough stuff.

They're a little tough where the saddle used to sit. Went to Montgomery today and heard the commercial 100 times.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Interesting. Learned something new. New considered age as a precursor to quality
