So quit bringing in your steaks! Naomi and I bought these at Ley on Constitucion' yesterday and cooked them at the beach. They were tender, juicy and tasted awesome! The background scenery was great too! 120 pesos per kilo when converted using 12 x 1 peso exchange comes out to about $4.55 per pound last time I bought steaks at Safeway they were 12.00 per pound and not anywhere near as good as these were. Save yourself the headache - shop local!

I just picked up 4 beautiful rib eyes for under $12 at Super Ley yesterday. Plus the ground beef I got was excellent - hardly any fat/grease at all and so less expensive then in the States. Also got some fresh green beans, which my DH didn't want me to buy as he isn't into string beans - when I served them he wanted seconds! They were so tender and full of favor could have made the whole meal on them. Also picked up a cantaloupe and it is one of the best. We do get spoiled down here.

DH does miss KFC and McD though - but not enough to make the trip north :)

Did you all buy them from the counter or did you have them cut?

Thanks,

I bought mine off the rack already packaged

I too have had good luck at Ley with the packaged steaks. They almost always have Rib Eye and New York cut prepackaged. I eat very little beef anymore but like to have a couple in the freezer for when the spirit moves me. They are cut a little thinner than I might like but I'm betting they would cut thicker if one asked. I still buy veggies at the Sinaloa Fruiteria but have to say that Ley does a good job with their veggies and fruit as well. Only place I find championes. The Bodega does a terrible job with fresh veggies, I think. Only thing I buy there anymore is the Las Moreas Malbec wine, $80 MP . I try to buy stuff at Numeros.

Yeah Bodega has a bad idea of hopw vegetables should be treated.....Ley was extremely clean - up-to-date and well layed out. They even have greeters now - the other day I took a tour group in there so they could provision before heading out to Mayan Palace and they were impressed with the "Welcome to Ley" in English and the "Good Bye have a nice day" on their way out. I was amazed. Someone is handling their job very seriously! Great customer service!

No Chef Boy R De...No Nalley's Chilli...no selection of Campbells Soup outside of mushroom and something else I can't read... it's no wonder I'm losing weight here in Penasco.

If you're losing weight it's most likely because your're not eating food loaded with a ton of chemicals, and meat injected with steroids and antibiotics like in the US.

Mex Joe,
Cedesa has some really incredible steaks that leave the USDA stuff in the dust. Go inside the store, tell them what you want, they cut it to your desired thickness, pay for it, take it outside and let the boys cook it. Good luck making home before doing your best impression of a starving bear.

Hey Stephen,

I've been to Cedasa twice. First time they cut the steaks for me and the second time he took me to the freezer and said pick out what you want.
Both times I had very good steaks, but I was a little turned off with the freezer routine. Are you talking about the Cedasa on Sonora?

By the way..nobody cooks my steaks for me. As the old ad said, "Mommy I rather do that myself."
RockyPointer
I have to agree with Stephen, If you go to Cedasa you can get some high quality meat, just ask for "Arrachera" or even better "Cabreria" but Cabreria is on the expensive side you cannot buy it by Kilos, have to buy the whole piece (lil more than 2 kilos) its like 500 pesos minimum for this. Best "Carne Asada Tacos" of my life and I have had tried the steaks from sprouts(expensive store).
And yes you should always cook your steaks yourself.

Cedasa is High Quality stuff is even exported to Japan, one of the best meats in the world compared to ones on Brazil and Argentina.
mexicoruss
Some of us apparently just dont get it.....We do though!

I have a problem with grills where we live. I refuse to grill a steak on George Foreman regardless of the fact that I have a number of his kids as Facebook friends.

No grills at Esmeralda?

In 1903, the unemployment rate was 1.2% of all working age Americans (aged 14 years or older):

Indeed-

Whether due to elevated standard of living (debatable), or that pesky chauvanistic bias we often call "tradition", most American families did get by on a single income back then.

Also important to note that agricultural work employed nearly 40% of the US workforce back then - compared to about 12% today.


Demographic trends are very interesting...


The Martians? no.... merely priorities.
brokenwave
Back then we didn't have all the things we now rely on, Cars, Insurance, Cable/Sat/TV bill, Internet, Movies, Golf, and the selection of 1000x more
than we could ever need available for us to buy, and credit cards to buy all of the above. Blame tricky advertising for that.
And they didn't put in the water whatever is in it now, causing the want to need that something new now that most people seem to live for.
That stuff is another income at least.

Most US citizens (white, black, Latino, etc.) people will not do agricultural work anymore. There are jobs out there for people - the problem is they are jobs that people don't want to do - like agriculture, being a maid in a hotel, a gardener, etc. Why do those kind of jobs when you can sit home and collect the same amount on unemployment. The "need" to work just isn't there. And while I'm at it, there should be mandatory drug testing for people who receive welfare. But, I'm still not voting for Romney! LOL!

Will you be drug testing businessmen getting small business loans, cotton farmers getting subsides,oil companies getting tax breaks too? I think wages have gone up in my County since the targeted crackdowns have taken effect.My sister-in-law works at Arizona Pistacio (84 hours a week during the harvest for a month) and the pay has jumped from 7 bucks an hour to 10-15 guess what? When you pay people they come to work!

Jerry I'm on your side, I just think there needs to be some accountability for the people who make welfare a way of life rather than temporary assistance.

Porterhouse = Cabreria
(Cabreria is the softer side of Porterhouse, Porterhouse is more expensive because is a bigger piece including the T-bone)

Isn't the "softer side" Filet?

That would be my guess.
RockyPointer
"cabreria" is basically the tenderloin part of the Porterhouse, but cointains the bone. Its very tender, lean, but has a lot more flavor than the Filete Mignon, due to the closeness of the bone. Its a longer cut along the bone, not like the more round-like Mignon, which is not as close to the bone and more into the belly.
