(thanks for supporting me via this referral link!)
I recently stocked up on grass-fed ribeye steaks through Butcher Box. I've never tried grass-fed or pastured beef before, so I wanted to first taste it alongside grain-fed or conventional steak, this one from Costco. I invited a friend to join me, and the results surprised us. Enjoy! - Навчання та стиль
You guys make me feel happy when watching, thank you for making these videos, they brighten my day!
I don’t know why but I enjoyed this. Thank you.
You guys are hilarious. Your video was very helpful with flavor difference information. Intermittent fasting? I would definitely watch you two do another video like this.
You made my day, Michael! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad this was helpful. And I'll definitely have to bring Rachael onto my channel more often. I love hanging out with her anyway.
Not intermittent fasting... prolonged fasting. Snake Diet, if you're familiar... I have plenty of mixed feelings about its front man Cole Robinson, but lots of respect for him as a citizen scientist. I'm fully on board with the healthiness of prolonged fasts. I have yet to post a video about my fasting and weight loss... it will come, probably when I hit my "goal weight" (or some other meaningful milestone). But I've lost 148 pounds so far...
@@BeckyMarshallDesign Wow! I havent heard of the Snake Diet, but I will look it up. Happy to hear you found something that is working for you. When did you start the diet?
@@BeckyMarshallDesign So I looked into the snake diet. I'm going to try a 48 - 72 hour fast this weekend. How long do you usually go; just curious? After you told me about the diet I researched it. I realized that I had come across it once before when I became interested in dry fasting. I am pretty excited to try it. Even with how radical it is in society/our "melting-pot culture," I have always thought of fasting as natural and it has finally peaked my interest enough to tip the scale thanks to you.
The Costco ribeye has been needle tenderized which is done to all Costco meat. Grass fed/ grass finished beef is more nutritious.
Prime would definitely taste better. It's younger and more marbled thus more tender and juicy. Though it'd be grain fed, thus less healthy. Kudos to knowing that it was grass finished. There's a lot of products out there that are labeled grass fed that are finisheder with grain the last six months of their life that negate the positive benefits of grass fed. The other thing you can do which will make your local butcher question you is to buy a slab and have them cut it in 3" strips. Get a hot pan on the highest heat you can, sear the two sides, salt/pepper then put it in the oven at a slow and low temp of 250 (can be higher like 300) until 135-140 inside. Then let it sit out. Cut it in one inch vertically, serve. My partner's parents use to own a meatpacking place in manhattan and that's really the best way I've seen these steaks cooked. It's red as can be in the middle but cooked. Delicious.
I have a frosted version of your tiki glass. What are the odds of that! Thanks so much for this review. I've been looking into trying butcher box as part of a more clean eating experience (you are what you eat, as they say). It's so expensive, so it's nice to see someone give an honest review. Cheers!
Hilarious ladies. Thank you for doing this. Now I look forward to “driving a tank through flavor town” as I have my first Butcher Box meats in the freezer.👍🏻
Thank for doing this video!!
I just subscribed to your channel because your videos are great. Thanks!
Fun video. Now I really want to try grass fed beef. Thanks for the comparison!
Heather Nicole Artrip grass fed beef 🥩 is so much tastier 😋😋😋

You dudes are hilarious, got any more food vids?
Yes! My sister and I say the same thing! I find grass fed steak too 'iron-y' like eating liver 🤢 I clearly have a pedestrian palete 😂 Thank God!
Cows take longer to reach a good hanging weight when fed purely grass, since they use calories to travel to eat more calories, and it takes a lot more grass to reach the same calorie load as comparable to a smaller amount of grains. That's why grass fed cattle are smaller than grain-fed cattle. And grain fed cattle are typically a lot younger than grass-fed, since they can get fatter quicker, hence why grass fed meat is darker in color. The cows are normally older. I think a grain-fed cow can reach a good hanging weight between 6 months and 18 months, compared to almost three years for a 100% grass fed cow to reach the same size.
It's more expensive to raise grass fed cattle, since not only does the farmer need more land for grass, but also the amount of time it takes to raise the animal, and you get normally less meat out of the cow.
What do I prefer? Grassfed...
Sure it takes longer. Eat less meat. Get some chickens to run around those skinny cows. Eat chicken in between. Get some sheep, lamb is amazing. Problem solved.
If you like grass fed beef, get it from Australia, US beef is grass fed and finished with corn. All corn is GMO and spayed with Roudup. California Dreaming is gone with the Momas and Pappas. $$$$$ is the new farm.

Ooh. I want to see this. All Costco should crush Butcherbox for cost and quality.
Nice video!
I concur!
Wow 🤩 I love this video
I know this is an older video now, but I stopped to watch it because I am a Becky to my family and my sister is Rachel. Then I got caught up in grass fed/finished vs grain finished taste test. I have also read that grass fed/finished beef lowers your cholesterol but not grain finished. Cows are supposed to eat grass, not grain. Thanks!
Definitely subscribing!
I want to see the cow that Costco ribeye came from! Holy cow!!!!
Hi. Was that grass fed and finished or grass fed and grain finished please? Feedlot beef (grain) is way different to free range pasture due to how the animals live and grow.

Although I wholeheartedly disagree with you that grass fed taste better. It does have a few more vitamins than grain finished beef. I do recommend that you don’t trust butcher block. Do try to find a rancher that will take your purchased animal straight to the processor just like you said. It cost less and both grass and grain finished beef taste way better than what you get from a store. I loved your video and will be tuning in for more. 👍🏼👍🏼
"you can taste the animal" im dying lMao. I prefer grass fed bc of the taste and the fat is WAY more desirable as its softer and easy to chew.
Lol 😂! I love y’all!!! Y’all are sooo funny!!!
Grass Fed & Grass Finished just taste so much better.
I also moan and go "mhm mhm" when eating steak. Not even kidding.
Damn, you ladies are funny AF
Thanks, stranger!!
Boy that looks GOOD. I want steak for dinner now lol. 🐄
Anyone in Portland - go to Acropolis for the best TASTING RibEye steak you've ever had - heaven - and $14.00. Not grass fed, etc, so if you can't handle it so be it, once a month who cares.
Youre allowed to eat meat in portland? I thought it was double nonfat soy lattes only
Happier Cow - better for the land - better meat - healthy too!
Good review
The funny thing (stat) is America hasn't had grass feed beef till the early 2000s it takes 5 times as long to get a cow up to weight on pasture feed beef than grain (just do the math and what it takes)
Gravy recipe???
Have u ordered from butcherbox again
I order butcher box every few months. I’m a nomad now so I do it when I’m visiting loved ones and want to share a bunch of meat at one address. I love their steaks.
Nice video
My diet has been roughly 95% beef steaks for the past year and a half. (Yes, you can live on just steak. And, you can be healthier than you ever were previously.)
Here's a tip for you two, and anyone else that could benefit:
One of the joys of eating steak, is using a sharp steak knife. Unfortunately, ceramic dishes dull the sharpest of knives, as you use them.
Therefore, it is best to forego the classy ceramic plates, and choose the cheap, and somewhat pathetic plastic dinner plates, while enjoying wonderful steak. The benefit is that the plastic will not dull your freshly sharpened knives, and they will be a pleasure to use on your steaks.
Of course, if the president phones and informs you of an impromptu dinner visit, go with the fine china. (He's much too dull to understand logic.) 😀
That's so dumb, eat a steak on plastic? Cut thru and eat plastic? The dumbest advice ever. A good knife will not dull from eating steak one time on a ceramic plate. Also, you can always sharpen your knives. Glass is class. Throw the plastic crap away and save the environment.
@@foofstarr4856 ,
Sounds like you understand dumb.
I wouldn't normally recommend "eating plastic", but for you; perhaps it would do your body good.
@@marshalllhiepler perhaps your 95 percent steak diet with 5 percent plastic is doing you any better 🤣
@@foofstarr4856 ,
Perhaps if you ate 95% steak ...
you would be able to write complete, and coherent sentences.
Its worth a try.
@@marshalllhiepler well, id rather make you feel uneasy about my sentence structure, and maybe if you ate 93 percent steak instead, you would be just a tad less anxious 😊
“To privilege”
“HOORAY”
Dead lol
Thanks for the review
This video is great and super informative but I'm stuck on one thing....why did you turn your gas off if you are fasting?? And if you are fasting...why are you eating steak!? 🤔
They definitely dont like like they fast at all.
I ate once a week for nine months
Thanks for your review. I recently tried grass fed from Butcher Box. I have to say, as far as taste, I prefer the grain-fed which is fattier and juicier in my opinion. Grass-Fed takes getting used to.
I can see that. I think that familiarity is a strong and valid taste factor! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I thought grass fed/finished from butcherbox was just okay nothing special however if I buy from whole foods grass fed steak it tastes better
@@crunchy_bones3814 the grass fed at whole foods might not be grass finished. 98% of cows are grass fed then spend the few months of their fed on grain. They put grass fed on the label anyway. I don't trust whole foods at all
I don't know man, I just tried my first butcherbox Ribeye, and it tastes awful weird! It had a liver consistency and honestly it was one of the worst steaks I've ever eaten! So now I have all these esyeaka that I have to eat cuz I have a freezer full of them.
I love costco!
What's a Costco cow eat? Crackers with cheese and fruit snacks?
I like the taste of the grass fed beef way more. More like a deer taste..Non Grass fed you have to season the hell out of it
Your comment makes me want to taste wild game for the first time. Never had it (except fish).
So does she taste better after eating grass fed beef?
You tell me, stud! Thanks for taking the time to share your beautiful world with us! 🩷
My tongue is poor cause it taste same to me can’t tell grass feed from gain
The BB ribeyes are sad in size but tasty...I love BB but the ribeyes at my local butcher are thick and sick also grass fed..I still subscribe BB I just don't get the ribeyes lol
Ok. On my way to Costco.
Butcher box is where its at
Should should ALWAYS cut ALL the fat off to compare the actual amount of meat. To me the Cost and the Butcher Box had almost the same amount of meat minus the fat. Obviously, fat is taste and the more marbling is tender.
Love your descriptions. It tastes like cow! Lol.
I'm guessing the two of you could wipe out an army of vegans any day of the week. My hat off to ya.
Yes yes yes and yes. Thank you for backing up what I’ve been trying to convince all my meatbrained Neanderthal friends of.
Ok the grass fed looks way better
Take that vegans!
🤔
This is funny:P
Lol, kool you guys having fun.
Xyz
Boiled meat, chewy....hmmm....
I am a bit drunk and will probably delete this comment later... I just discovered you and love you both in a weird semi-brotherly semi-gay kind of way. Please, forgive me if you find it offensive, as none was meant. Only affection and... I don't know. And yes, I love meat, too. I haven't doxed you but I'm getting Chicago vibes. Am I close? Enjoyed your interaction and culinary comments. Once again, apologies.
Next time buy the prime ribeye instead of choice. Costco has both.
tell me why!
@@BeckyMarshallDesign don't dø it. Prime just has more fat, and that is awesome if it's grass fed/ finished, but typically it isn't and so it's just more gristle and tasteless white fat.
Source your beef uncommercially from an actual cattle ranch that free ranges on what natures got in that area.theres a reason some of the most sought after beef comes from the high country places in western united states and parts of Australia where nutrient rich soil grows the best grass for bovine to pasture on. Choice is old dairy cattle that cant produce anymore and prime aint nothin more than a stamp you pay more for and if you think the usda gives a hoot about giving the public a quality nutrition source, well id love tell you about an ocean front property i got for sale in Arizona and if ya pay me enough ill even throw the golden gate in for free. Nice review though but Blind test a 2”x2” piece of each n then see if you can tell the difference. and I do enjoy butcher box as a secondary option when I cant get ahold of other beef or bison. Talk about the best ribeyes, bison its where its at.
Aren't you people supposed to be eating vegan soylent?
Well don’t try waygu
WTF......
You dont know how to cook meat
