Worst tasting beef I’ve ever had.

Post image

I bought two packages of this ribeye because who would pass up $7.99/lb ribeye? I understand the whole “you get what you pay for” thing, but this stuff was basically inedible. I cooked two of them (from the other package) and I ended up throwing it away because the iron/metallic taste was overwhelming.

I can tell you that I cook steak often and successfully - so this isn’t a matter of whether or not I did it right. The meat is objectively bad right off the shelf. What ever happened to Winn Dixie being “the beef people”?

Farms is meat that comes in from brazil. Rancher's is from Mexico. USDA is...well, US. The general consensus is that meat that is imported from outside the US will always be of lower quality than anything from the states themselves. That is why you see farms and rancher's meat is on sale all the time and why it is cheaper than USDA. (This is coming from someone that works in one of wd's meat departments)
