They’re both Prime NY strip steaks… so why do we sell one for less? Not every steak that comes off a strip loin is created equal.

As you move from the rib end of the loin toward the sirloin, the anatomy starts to change. A secondary muscle develops, along with a line of gristle separating the two. It’s still technically NY strip, but it’s not quite as tender and it doesn’t offer the same eating experience as the single-muscle steaks from farther up the loin.

Most grocery stores simply label both as NY Strip and sell them at the same price. We’ve never thought that was particularly fair.

Instead, we label those sirloin-end steaks as “NY Sirloin” so you know exactly what you’re getting, and we sell them for at least $3-$4/lb less than our regular NY strips. We’ll often put them on sale for even less.

They’re still great steaks, especially for the price. But the single-muscle strips are undeniably better, and we think the price should reflect that.

A little beef anatomy that might save you a few bucks at the meat counter.

One of our regulars, Steven Darling , absolutely killed it with this bavette, and once again his son was behind the camera getting some fantastic shots of the finished product. Definitely deserves a feature on our page.

We always love seeing what you guys do with the meat you take home from the shop. Whether it’s something you’ve cooked a hundred times or you’re trying a new cut for the first time, we’re always excited to see how it comes out.

Beautiful cook and beautiful pictures. Nice work, guys! 🥩📸

Inside skirt vs. outside skirt. What’s actually the difference?

They’re two different muscles that sit in two different places on the animal, and when you see them still attached to the rib and belly, the names make a whole lot more sense.

Once trimmed, there are some noticeable differences too. Outside skirt is smaller, and generally has a finer grain, better marbling, and tends to be a little more tender and flavorful. Inside skirt has a coarser grain with somewhat larger bits of fat throughout. Both are fantastic cuts, both can be used for the same things, and we’d happily take either one.

Most skirt lovers tend to have a preference for one or the other. Which one are you picking?

A little change of plans for this week’s Butcher Bag!

It’s Thursday afternoon, but unfortunately we haven’t had a chance to get this week’s bags put together and ready to go. Sometimes life gets in the way, and this week got away from us a little bit.

We do know what we’re putting in them though, and so far this week’s lineup includes:

🥩 Prime NY Strip
🐖 Pork Loin
🐑 Rack of Lamb
🐓 Chicken Breast
🦌 Venison Sausage
🌭 Hot Dogs
🥩 Ground Beef
🧀 St. Stephen Triple Cream Cheese from Four Fat Fowl

Depending on the final weights and values, we may have another item or two to add as well.

We’ll get everything weighed, packed, and ready to go by mid morning tomorrow and post the final lineup, guaranteed weights, value, and price by mid-morning.

Sorry to break our streak of Thursday afternoon Butcher Bag announcements! We appreciate everyone’s patience, and we’ll have a good one ready for you in the morning.

Spare ribs, St. Louis ribs, and baby backs… what’s actually the difference?

It’s a lot easier to understand when you can see where they are on the pig and how they connect.

Today we’re showing exactly where all three come from, why St. Louis ribs are just trimmed spare ribs, and how baby backs are actually the same rib bones you’ll find attached to a pork rib chop.

A little pork anatomy for your Saturday.
