Trader Joe’s occasionally carries the Teva meats (mostly just ground beef, ribeye and the occasional bit of stew neat). My experiences have been inconsistent, but overall I wouldn’t want 35 pounds of this in my freezer…

Eric, is it just not good…chewy, bland, etc.?

I am with you on not wanting 35lbs of mystery cuts, but I do keep about that much of preferred steaks and hamburger on hand.

Apart from one very good ribeye, mostly I have found it pretty lean and chewy. Also it is strangely ‘pink’ both before and after being cooked. To be honest, I have yet to ever meet a Kosher steak that I would ever dare serve you. (I think you would appreciate what I can do with shortribs and brisket though.)

Understood.

Maybe someday I can get a sample of your short ribs.
