Club members get their pick of the two highest grades for steaks, but which one is the best for your money?
If you're not a professional chef, and you lack the expert skills and precision tools to recreate a restaurant-quality steak at home, then you're probably wondering why you would even consider shelling out the extra dough for some highfalutin Prime cuts. Would your palate even notice the difference? Because you know your wallet would!
That's why I conducted this little experiment. I rounded up packs of three popular steaks from Costco—ribeye, sirloin, and New York strip—including one of each USDA Choice and USDA Prime varieties. That's a total of six different steaks. The mission: to see if there is any distinct difference to the average customer, or whether paying the extra money is even remotely worth it. Here's how each cut compared to its other-grade counterpart.
As a strip man myself, I previously had no idea what I was missing by purchasing the Choice steak instead. Now that I know the difference, there is no going back.Sign up for our newsletter!
