WE COMPARED IT TO A $10 RIBEYE FROM THE SUPERMARKET PER THE PARKING LOT STEAK WAS SMALL AND THIN. HE TOSSED BOTH ON THE FLAMES WERE THE THIN ARCING LOT STEAK WAS DWARFED. IT COOKED TO MEDIUM IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THE GROCERY STORE RIBEYE TOOK ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES. I PUT ON MY NAPKIN AND REMOVED MY FACEMASK AND DUG IN. TASTES LIKE MEAT. IT WAS A BIT GRISLY BUT EDIBLE. BUT THE GROCERY STORE RIBEYE WAS JUICY AND TASTY. WE SAW SOME BBB COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI BASED SELLERS ONCE A POOR QUALITY AND ANOTHER SAYS NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF MEAT THEY ARE. THE LABEL SAYS IT IS INDEED BEEF WITH A 15% TENDERIZING SOLUTION ADDED. SOME OF YOU SAY THESE TWO DOLLAR STEAK IS GOOD IF YOU DON'T ANALYZE TOO CLOSELY.
