How selective are you with buying beef? In the US we have three grades (Select, Choice and Prime) I have never seen Select cuts in stores but also never see Prime unless you go to a butcher shop. I consider steak a luxury meal and will spend the extra money for the best, after all, would you purchase icky fish, poultry or pork?
I do purchase the average choice beef for certain things were marbling and tenderness are not a factor but not as a stand alone piece of meat.
I have two locations for Prime beef close to my home, one is obvious, the local quality butcher shop, the other may surprise you. The Costco in my area does carry Prime beef, who knew? Just today I picked up a tray of sirloin for tips. The marbling on this meat was like a Picasso painting.
