Most kids that age are happy with mac n cheese and hotdogs.

You do run the risk of him turning 10 and demanding Japanese A5 Wagyu.

Thankfully he’s a good eater, not picky and will absolutely crush a hot dog, Mac and cheese and some nuggets. But tonight he was insistent he wanted the steak I’d gotten for primary night (tomorrow) kids got good taste - NY Strip Marbling Score 9.

I was talking about meats with a friend (as bros are wont to do ) and he asked a profound question, “If you can only have one cut of beef for the rest of your life, what would it be?”. I didn’t think much about it, as much as I like the premier cuts (ribeye/strip/filet) if I can only have one, it would be a skirt steak (or a sirloin flap). Deep and luscious beef taste, a multitude of cooking/eating options like a steak sandwich, fajitas, steak frites etc.

Solid choice - someone mentioned it a couple pages back but I think I'd have to go with picanha/coulotte. Same logic on the versatility. One of my favorite butcher shops in the world and has a lunch counter where they do a smoked coulotte they slice up for a sandwich and it's otherworldly. If anyone's ever in Naples, FL - Check out Jimmy P's to get one.

My only beef (aha!) with skirt is it has become ridiculously expensive. I was at Publix today and outside skirt was $29/lb while ribeyes were $15/lb. I'll just cook the ribeyes and slice them up thin, thanks.

Skirts steak prices are insane. Shockingly by me, the cheapest is Whole Foods, which has it regularly at around $14-15 a pound, for really nicely marbled steaks. My local boutique supermarket also has small skirt steaks ( and hanger) at $29 a pound ( they have tomahawk ribeyes at $17 a pound) But what I find shocking is that the “poors” supermarkets by me have it at around $18-20 a pound, this used to be a cheap cut of meat.

I don't even want to talk about the price of oxtails vs. the before times (prior to hipsters.)
