Anyone ever buy frozen meat from a meat truck?
 

You know those guys driving thru strip malls and warehouse areas offering cases of frozen meat?

.

I know lots of people did in the neighborhood I grew up in. My family didn't, we were more the BJs Wholesale Club family.

That sounds rather homoerotic ...

Do not do it unless you have no ability to recognize good meat and / or can't cook. It's horseshit, you'd have more fun buying thin cut steaks from Wal Mart and eating less meat but actually liking how it tastes.

Forget it..

I prefer to buy a whole cut of whatever it is that I want, so a strip loin for example, will run you between $60 and $100, depending on quality and size.. Take it home, clean it. and cut into any sized steak you want. Put the portions into a vacuum sealer, and you are good to go.

The alternative is to buy a 1/4 or half cow, and tell the butcher how you want it cut. They can generally vac-pac or wrap in butcher paper for you. But at least you know what you are getting. All too often the frozen Boxed meats are like those cowboy steaks that are marinated and tenderized with chemicals.

I have a great story about one of them. I will come back later with it.

Thanks for that... :-//

I've got a good friend that has open invitations out for football Sunday barbecues. Because he never knows ahead of time how much food is needed he bought a couple cases of frozen steaks and throws them on the grill as needed.

They taste ok, are a little on the small side, anyway ... What am I eating?

if you buy frozen meat. you should just go buy a frozen dinner and take out the cooking. they are all shit. there is nothing like fresh meat.

We buy from Schwan's. They have a ton of tasty stuff and in some cases they are cheaper than the grocery store. Especially for appetizer type shit.

I have a buddy who does sales/deliveries for them and he does quite well for himself.

long time ago, had a butcher that delivered. Use to get Filets, wrapped in a box, 12 to 15 of them, pretty cheap and it was always good. I wouldn't do it now.

Have fun consuming mass amounts of hormones and various toxins. Buy some grass fed beef or bison and live like a king:2 cents: Bison inside round roast is delicious and not too expensive. Move on to eating bison hearts and you will realize what you have been missing.

Sounds shady.

That is what I was thinking of. Not sure if same thing L-Pink is talking about.

If you think Omaha steak is great steak then you might like it, but if you think Omaha is over-priced poor quality then you won't. Totally a subjective judgement.
