Costco’s Five Beef Buys for Big-Batch Flavor and Savings

Costco’s meat department is highlighted for consistency and value with five top beef cuts: prime brisket, short ribs, tenderloin, chuck roast, and the whole strip loin. An executive chef notes these cuts excel for BBQ, meal prep, and feeding big groups, aided by steady turnover and competitive pricing. Notable prices include prime briskets around $4.99/lb in some areas; short ribs at $6.59/lb at Costco Business Centers (vs about $11.34/lb online); tenderloin around $21/lb for choice or $36/lb for prime (with pre-cut prime steaks ~ $30.63/lb); chuck roast about $8.50/lb; and a typical 13-pound whole strip loin at $13/lb for choice or $16/lb for prime. The piece argues Costco offers high-quality, bulk-friendly beef that beats many rivals on price, making it a smart pick for frequent cooks and events.

The Ultimate Guide to Short Ribs vs Brisket

Short ribs and brisket, once considered lesser cuts of beef, have gained popularity due to their flavorful and tender qualities when cooked properly. Short ribs can come from different parts of the cow, with chuck short ribs being meatier but tougher, while rib short ribs are more tender. Brisket always comes from the breast of the cow and requires low, slow cooking to melt the collagen and achieve tenderness. Short ribs can be butchered and sold as flanken or English-style ribs, each suitable for different cooking methods. Short ribs have more even fat distribution, while brisket has a leaner section covered by a cap of fat. Short ribs are generally more expensive than brisket. When cooked, short ribs tend to fall apart, while brisket retains some stringiness. Short ribs usually come with a bone, but boneless short ribs are also available. Both cuts may require trimming, with brisket being harder to cook evenly. Brisket is leaner and higher in key vitamins and minerals compared to short rib.
