I worked at a processing plant in Omaha back in the 80s that processed mostly utility cattle like bulls, dairy etc. for grinding. We had a guy who had an eye for quality meat & I used to buy boxes of t-bones for a few bucks. My father was in heaven. He could grill one up & serve it to you and you’d swear it was a Choice/Prime steak.

Remember telling my FIL about it & he said dairy cattle are fed a lot of grain so the meat quality would be good.

Yep. There’s a huge difference between meat.

A friend suggested I give Publix a try despite the higher price, and I finally did. I used a reverse sear—225° oven followed by a very hot stovetop sear—and it turned out to be one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, including in restaurants (and I’ve had plenty of great restaurant steaks).
