I have been buying rib eyes regularly for a couple of years. I have now made the switch to prime New York strips.

The ones that my butcher sells are 1-1.25 inches thick and weigh about a pound. The upgrade over a rib eye is that you don't get that 1-2 sections of fat and cartilidge that runs through the steak.

Give it a shot.
Not in this world or the next will a new york strip replace a rib eye.
That fat is why.

No doubt....I love it when people cut off the "fat" and leave meat along the bone....more for me. I actually asked my wife one time at a steak house if I could ask the table next to us for the scraps.

I’ll add that the only people who are capable of making these types of comments about the effects of beef production on the climate are (relative to the world at large) very rich, have no issues obtaining food, most likely have never grown or butchered their own food, and have a hell of a lot of time to gaze in their navel for the next great idea.

also, please note this article was also written with the profit motive at work. While they might claim to want to “do something” they are still just trying to monetize you.

When I read this I really thought it was somehow tied to a sexual preference.

I was a little confused, then was just scared to click on it.
Relieved it's just that beef is bad.

Sad, they actually have some good recipes. Here’s a Texas chili that’s literally a bowl of steak with some chilis and onions.


I’m worried for the future of our country. It’s easy to ignore the news and choose to ignore ridiculous laws (mask mandates, 30 round magazine bans, etc), but this will likely take the form of taxes. A 300% tax on beef, making ground $12/lb, should do the trick for them.

Not to mention it will lead to rednecks shooting cows in fields at night, cutting off a leg, and hauling ass.

Of course, the leftist elites that push this crap will continue eating their filet mignon 3 nights a week, it’s us peasants that need to change.

Talking about emissions, why are they pushing us to electric vehicles when most people drive 30 minutes a day or less, which the entire USPS fleet is from 1987 to 1994 and operating 12 hours a day?

I’m not doing it. Ate a prime NYS tonight and grass fed beef tacos last night. Screw them.

Grilled up some steaks last week, first time I've cooked beef since I dropped 2 Caribou last Aug... I cant say I've missed it...

Do I still get woke points if I stop eating beef and substitute for wild game? Asking for a friend?

Only if you can say with a straight face that you seriously believe cow farts are significant enough to impact global climate.

No, but I do believe moose farts are thawing the ice caps (they are closer to the ice caps, so their impact is way worse than a Cow in Texas #SciENcE #WhyCantItBeTrue), so im gonna go shoot 1 of those critters to do my part!

Clearly. The science is settled.

It is interesting that vegans, a group that finds use of animals deplorable, try so desperately to make their vegetable based food look, smell, and taste like meat.


This has baffled me for a long damn time. I would never eat meat that tasted or was shaped like a vegetable... what's the point?

in a way, it kind of explains the mentality of what the whole game is about - they don't just eat vegetables and say it's better, they have to make a 'better' meat - like a 'better than you' inferiority complex.

A study back in about 2015 found that 80+% of vegetarians went back to eating meat... looks like bacon was better...

I don’t know about you guys, but eating processed fake chemical meat instead of the real thing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.
I have been fortunate enough to have a freezer full of game meat. When I do get beef steak it’s definitely rib eye!

Maybe we need to take a different approach. This weekend I think I will make up some spaghetti and meat based brussell sprouts.

This one sticks in my craw. Are Epicurious giving up on leather? Pet food?

truth be told, if these social justice warriors traced nearly any product from its origins to its retail they could find something their not going to like.

They didn't get meat on the USS Enterprise. Food plate of the future.

Yep, if I want anything else I stick to game meat. Last year was the closest I've come to running out of wild game meat, with only two packages of elk left in the freezers when September came along.
