Creator tips

Check the 'sell by' date for freshness. Meat can be frozen any time before this date.
USDA Prime grade beef has superior marbling and flavor compared to USDA Choice.
Flap meat is an excellent choice for marinades and dishes like carne asada.
Thinly sliced beef short ribs are perfect for making Korean BBQ (Kalbi).
For the best burgers, consider grinding your own meat from cuts like ribeye or brisket.
Beef loin top sirloin cap, also known as Picanha, is a fantastic and flavorful cut for grilling.
Beef ribs are ideal for smoking low and slow.
The Australian rack of lamb at Costco is a great value and is best cooked hot and fast.
You can ask the Costco butchers to custom-slice larger cuts, such as cutting a whole ribeye into individual steaks.
