Costco Label Interpretation

Recommended Posts

Today, I went shopping at Costco. One of my purchases is labeled "PLD Butt Tender Prime Peeled S.M.O. USDA Prime". Am I correct to believe this is from the sirloin and akin or part of a butt steak or rump roast that has been peeled of fat and silver skin? Any thoughts on sous vide preparation?

Usually (I say that because names can vary by region, though Costco is pretty respectful of the NAMP conventions), the butt tender is the sirloin end of the tenderloin. Check it out here.

Thanks for the info link,very timely as I have been wrestling with the butcher at Kroegers lately over the crappy tenderloin "steak" they sell...its really crappy,not like I remember it being in the past...I have to do to much trimming work to get it ready to cook...
