Especially at nearly $6/lb... the regular price for tender steaks like
porterhouse and NY strip at the local market here is $7/lb... on sale
they're $6/lb... and clearly labeled USDA Choice. I regulary buy USDA
choice top round at $4/lb... on sale it's $3/lb. I would never
consider buying beef steak at $6/lb that indicates it needs
marinating... I can buy cube steak at $3/lb and needs no marinating
and is very good as swiss steak. Most people don't realize it but NY
State raises a lot of beef... my property is surrounded by people
raising beef.
