Eating Like A Carnivore On A Budget - Epic Costco Beef Haul! 

Lots of you are asking about my air fryer: Ninja Foodi 8qt 14-in-1 but it looks like they’re out of stock on Amazon at the moment: amzn.to/3xdkbo1 They do have a 12 in 1 though (doesn’t do sous vide or have a thermometer but otherwise it looks the same! amzn.to/4c7l2FF Also the sheet pan with the rack I showed is AWESOME for dry brining. I saw dr Chaffee using them and had to get some too! They’re super heavy duty and don’t rust and go in the dishwasher. I’ve got a few sizes but they’re all this brand and I’m thrilled with them! amzn.to/3VMmHeb This one has a coupon: amzn.to/4c7Zitn

Im 68 male with thyroid and vertigo issues. I started several times after 2 days I cheat and start all over!! As of 6-22-24 I'm on day 4. I'm going to beat those cravings!!!! I have to do this!!!

I wish I could get my wife to join me in my carnivore lifestyle, she complains about her aches and pains but refuses to give up her junk food and veggies.

You guys! I just bought an 83 LB. box of chuck roll at our Costco in N . Ca. For $4.29 LB. 🥩🥩🔥 I have called the supermarket when having a great sale on ground beef & ordered 100 LB &. they have no problem w/it. Set a time them for pickup & grind it up. That way too it hasn’t been sitting in the meat trays😊 Thank you so much for sharing this tip with/us❣️

OMG! I clicked on this because we just started carnivore AND just joined Costco...The whole time I'm watching, I kept thinking how freaking familiar you both look!! I'm subscribed to you on my reseller channel, which i haven't been on for almost 2 years but YAY! I am so happy to see you both!! And see that you're doing so well!!! Wish us luck on our carnivore journey! It just makes so much sense and we are having a great time figuring out what meals we like and what we don't.

I spend roughly 150-200 per week for groceries (I'm including everything in this even toiletries, but most of this is food), so if 290 lasts you 3 weeks, that is good.

With prices the way they are I'll be going your way. I buy the case of 80/20 ground beef, whole rib eye in cryovac but never heard of chuck roll. Thanks for the awesome video.

I was hoping you would show an easy way to cut up the roll into steaks as the other channels that show this are complicated and produce a lot of what they call "meat to grind into hamburger". They don't seem to get a lot of steaks out of their "rolls". Great channel!

You are not only smart people, but healthy as well.....Love it!

Oh my goodness, I have missed so many of your videos!!! I've got a major catch up session to do, so excited, can't blinking wait 😍🤩😍......awesome meat score, looks delicious ❤

Different faces, different house~ EXACT same everything else, literally you guys! Same shopping in bulk, same butchering w/Dan taking out trash & recycle & feeling a little bad that I'm doing all the cutting/wrapping~ but not really, since we both prefer that I do tbh, it's all good=). Same week's worth in fridge, rotating out from freezer, etc.. also 90~95% of what we eat every day too, though I'm not always eating twice, Dan usually does. It's taken me almost 3 yrs to get my appetite up to where it is now, which is about 10~14 oz per day of meat, plus eggs & fat bites, same same. Too many years of grazing, thinking that was best for my health, but it shrunk my stomach & appetite. *Plus, I was in menopause when we started, so that was part of it too~but no meds, no HRT, no wacky symptoms either btw. Sometimes we get sub primal whole NY or Ribeye & cut that up too, but chuck roll is where it's AT, in our opinion~so darn good! Hey, thx for sharing tip on sprinkling fat bits w/gelatin, will be trying that too. Believe it or not, I even have that exact same green canister of Vital Protein brand right now, but I bought it for $5 at our local discount store(Peoria Discount Grocery), so whatever brand is there. They buy pallets from Sprout's & other stores of expensive items they couldn't sell for ridiculous retail, so we swoop in & get lots of good stuff for super cheap~ I love that place! Anyhow, I'm going on too long as usual~ always so good checking in w/you two. I truly love knowing how many of us are out here eating proper food & absolutely thriving, feeling our very best, AND.... enjoying our amazing lives!! Sammy & Dan in AZ (*Btw, now 58 & 63 yrs old- that's an updated photo of us, not sure if you remember our round faced old one from before we changed our eating. This one I have no eye makeup on, so I look a bit ghostly/albino, but I still love the photo & it shows how much has changed I think)

I just started on carnivore and was just thinking I need to go to my butcher to buy in bulk then my wife asked if I want anything from Cosco, I found this video and said YES I do lol. It was also $4.19 but we got about 80 lbs box. She is on her way home with it now. Thanks for posting and saving me a bunch of money!

Looks so good! 😀 Thanks!

First time viewer. Thank you.

What beautiful beef, that was a great deal.

I watched you guys dd years ago and here you are doing carnivore! Just trying to get going with it.

Adding a little chunk of Kerry Gold butter on them while they rest a bit. 👍

This video was so informative. I thank you 🙏 and I subscribed ❤

Remember Nuwave ...big round glass ... infrared oven ... much better than air fryer ...I love it ...air fryer bye-bye... check it out...❤️

We did a costco ribeye roll and the price was the exact same if we had purchased them already cut. The only benefit was we were able to cut them into the sizes that we wanted. We freeze it, so we like to cut some of them kind of thin so they don't take long to defrost or cook if we are in a hurry or really hungry.

I'm right with you this one only I sous vide my. I cut them up into big steaks and cook 20lb at a time. Cook them for 32 hours in the sous vide then I freeze some and save our what want to eat. You can sear them if you like or heat them up in the microwave even. I don't have to cook for like a week. I just take what I need out of the freezer when I need it. Chuck roll is the way to go. I only eat Chuck for beef can fish sardines, herring eggs and butter that's it. I've been doing this for over a year now and I'm not going back. Glad you found the Chuck rolls❤

Thanks!I have been stressing out over rising cost of my chuck steaks.Will have to try buying one of these chuck rolls.

WOW...I'm only 8 weeks in to my Carnivore diet...I just subscribed because I like you two, ...gotta know how you did those eggs like that...ya gotta share !!

Oh wow! That's a tremendous deal!! I watched a video tutorial about breaking down a chuck roll a while ago - I might have to dig that up and try this myself. Definitely consider treating yourself to a 'breaking knife'. I picked up a Victorinox 10 in breaking knife off of ebay (brand new) at a great discount and it makes SHORT work of a whole ribeye or strip loin too! I bet it would do great with a chuck roll too. Thanks for the great video!

Sloan market in Buffalo where i get my meat has Prime Chuck Roll for $4.99 lb about 20 lb average. Prime boneless Rib eye for 13.99 lb and 16 lb average. I watched and learned from RU-vid on how to cut and will never go back to buying cut steaks

Great video from store to plate. Curious about how you freeze the eggs. Thanks for shaaring.

Defiantly going to try this looks very affordable in my opinion so appreciate this video 😊

New follower, and wow that was and EPIC haul to be sure. I am closing in on day 120 and loving the lifestyle. Thanks for posting this.

Love your fur baby!!!

Thanks for the costco pro tip!

Thank you so much for this video. I’m really on a budget next time. I’m going shopping at Costco to see if I can get that kind of a deal.

i own a farm estate in the UK and we always eat our own produce and encourage people to buy from the farm shops... you get better value for your money... we do pork, beef, chicken, turkey, pheasant, duck and goat... then various dairy products, anyone wanting to stock up in bulk i advice to get a actual walk in freezer, cheaper than 3 to 4 chest freezers... even cheaper if you are on solar... also what i like to do is any tiny off cuts i quickly deep fry for snacking on... grand kids love it... we bought a ninja twin raw airfryer a few months ago we hardly use the main oven... how often do you have pork?

Hey. I just watched you two on extreme unboxing. Subscribed.

Thank you for sharing this process, Will you consider showing more dental about how you cut the chuck roll please?

Lovely job..thank you.

That’s awesome! I just bought a whole beef and it was very similar in price per pound. I want to say $4.15? That is everything, steak, brisket, ribs, liver, ground beef and suet. I’m happy with it! Not grass finished but local and DELICIOUS….❤️👍 I’ve been beef only for four years now and I absolutely DON’T get tired of it!😊 How long have you guys been carnivore? Fun watching you both!

You and you husband are absolutely amazing. Love what you do.I wish my husband would come aboard with me doing Carnivore lifestyle. Maybe one day.keep up what your doing you look beautiful. ❤

Going to Costco today with my husband so he can do the heavy lifting! I've gotten a ribeye roll once before, but now I'm on the hunt for the chuckroll! Thanks for the reminder (I saw your other video about this a while back) We are on a tight budget but still want to eat well/healthy so things like this is how to make that happen. Love you guys! Wish yall lived near us (TX) so we could be real life friends LOL 🥩🧈🥓🍳💪🏼

Exactly what I do! At Costco too. I went last night & they were out of chuck rolls-phooey. I got chuck roasts & they were more per lb-$4.99, but still not bad. The fat is mostly trimmed though. I add tallow, or eat tallow cold bc the rendered fat isn’t great on the tummy. BTW, you two pushed me over into carnivore. At first I thought carnivore sounded so crazy, but now I are one! Ty for all your tips. I’ve followed your advice a lot. Also I started watching your channel with reselling & dumpster diving bc I’m a reseller too

I have bought a chuck roast at the grocery store and cute it in half and cooked it like a ribeye and it was not tender. I had heard it tastes like ribeye so we were disappointed. Yours looks really good.

Thanks for letting us go shopping with you. Great video and super helpful! Question: do you ONLY make steaks for your chuck roll. I've heard the quality varies within the roll from one end to the other. What are your thoughts? I sure what rather just butcher steaks than do ground with part of it -- especially cuz I currently have no grinder! LOL

I do exactly the same thing. Bought a chuck roll just yesterday. Just an individual roll not a box

Oh what the heck? *New* *Sub* Yeah iv'e been on the Carnivore for now for 3 months (a baby) compared to you two. Eggs, Burgers, Chuck Roast/Steaks & Pork Blade Steaks & Butter & Salt... If I even have a little oil in my food my stomach will explode. I drink Green & Black Tea and for dinner 1 Powerade. Never thought of purchasing a whole roll of chuck, I am going to have to call for a price check. Well glad to be back in the circle again, I'll go through all your earlier video's. How are you two feeling? The Puppy she looks wonderful. *TTL* 🍖🥩

The last time I bought beef it was a big plastic bag like that from Smart and Final, but just ONE bag and it was also about $4.19 lb for sirloin which is round, i guess, from the other end of the cow and a bit leaner than what you've got. I carved it up for various types of meals and froze it. It was a lot of work! but worth it when for when I've got the beef craving. I eat a lot of chicken.

I'm so glad your video popped up as a recommendation. I enjoyed watching your video and had to subscribed :-). By the way, is that a regular wood cutting board you are using as your plate? And could you kindly share or link where you purchased those white trays from? Thank you!

New sub here 👋 I can’t wait to buy my roll of meat from Costco now. Brilliant, thank you

You can also get them individually. You don’t have to get the box. I think I paid around $60 for a 17 lb roll, last time. You also get different cuts in a roll, one being a Denver steak, which is a beautiful cut of meat❤

Chuck roll is great braised (pot roast) as well. Anything from the shoulder has tons of flavor. Unbelievable when cooked in the smoker! I shred it after smoking and make Tacos out of it. Really good! Or, try it in Chili!

I'm inspired!

Hi my dears. I'm going to ask for the same box as you got. I know it's going to be a lot more than $4:19 a lb for me. But now I'm curious. My mouth was literally watering look at your steaks. God bless you and stay safe. 🙏💖

The meat looks good cant beat that price too wish I had a bigger Freezer !!!

Great haul on that beef, I will see if my Sams has chuck roll. I am curious about those eggs--please do a vid about how you cook them and have them come out flat like that. I thought Dash egg cookers made HB eggs in their shells but you said they are poached.

Great video! I don't see the hype on grass fed. This beef is the best in my opinion and works fine with carnivore. Update: I bought a chuck roll at Costco yesterday! Love it! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you

Yummy. ❤❤

Thanks

You can also invest in a reasonable grinder and grind some and you will be amazed at how much better it taste than store bought hamburger because it doesn't have the pink slime added. If you buy a grinder buy beef fat to add to ground beef to YOUR likeing not what they add for there profit. It also doesn't have a expiration date either.

Oh wow, it's usda prime too! What a deal. I guess being prime it's not tough either.

Steve & Steph’s house is like Arby’s we have the meat’s

Greetings and salutations Steven and Stephanie! I really enjoyed this video it's so helpful! I have a quick question please. Do you know by chance is it possible to only purchase a single Chuck roll and not the entire box? (Meaning just one chuck Roll, versus the three per container). I hope that makes sense. I am also a new subscriber and make sure I like & share your videos! Have a wonderful day and please keep the uploads coming! I have just begun the carnivore diet myself! Thank you so much 😁

Glad to know our Hawaii Costco is only $.50 per lb higher on the ribeyes. I might buy a whole ribeye on my next Costco run. I got a little tired of the chuck but you guys made it look delicious. Right now I'm working on the NY steaks I got for $9.99 a lb last week at our Safeway. Always on the hunt for fresh kill...lol

I get ground beef for between $0.99/lb and $2.99/lb at a local Japanese market. I have to go early in the morning and I can't get all the quantity I'd like but what I do get feeds me and my wife a lot of meals most weeks.

Next time, just tell him you got a big family!😂

I bought a chuck steak and it was tough as nails. Good as a roast but was a poor steak.

Looks like I'm heading to Costco after work, thanks! Instead of a cake for my b-day today, I opted for a 2.5 lb Tomahawk. Not sure how I'll get the candle in I haha

Yummy 😋 Yummy 😋 😍 😊

Chuck eye steak is my favorite

I love chuck. I could eat it every day. It’s labeled choice. Do you roast the tougher cuts or Sous vide the heck out of them? Laura Spath has a great video on buying chuck. I showed my husband who is not carnivore and he said get a box. 😂

Wow!

Boa tarde StevenSteph! Que tudo dê certo em sua vida! Que Deus te abençoe! Fica com Deus! Que tudo dê certo no seu Dia a Dia! Que você receba muitas bênçãos do Universo!!!

❤❤ ???? QUESTION PLEASE. Thanks for this video. I am very curious though , if I am able to cut the entire chuck roll UP into steaks. Because it appears to me , when I look it up online,the different butchers or chefs make it look like you only get a few steaks from the chuck roll and the rest are roasts or grind meat?? Please clarify if we can cut the entire chuck roll into steaks. I also noticed the one you got in this video was USDA choice rather than prime. Was it still tender and flavorful, even though it wasn't Prime? Thank you for your time.

See your doctor if it’s good for you 😂😂😂

i have lived a long time ,i am almost 65 and never knew i could freeze eggs,i live in a small apt and have a small freezer ,i have not had steak in years ,i do have the money not the room ,bummer i want beef,i pay 5.99 a pound for hamburger on amazon,pricey,i just found you today ,thank you

Grassfed beef or steak isn't the same as grassfed + grass finished. Grassfed beef means they were eating grass at some point in their life. The Grassfed + Grassfinished means they ate grass their whole life from start to end. I'm sure there might be a few grassfed that was grassfed their whole life, but to know, you would have to ask the company/farm. The ribeye steak I buy at natural grocers that is grassfed + grassfinished cost 15.59 for 8oz.. that would never work if you are carnivore, but I'm not. If I were you guys I would add Cabbage into the mix, raw or oven roasted/baked. Both steak and cabbage has one of the highest concentrations of Sulforaphane which is VERY anti inflammatory in the body. Reason I told you about the grassfed "lie" is that it's not always better then what you got there. So keep on with the Costco stuff, can't go wrong there.

You might want to consider getting a heat protecting plate for under your airfryer before it cracks your beautiful counter...

Woman you are strong ! No way my little arms could cut all that meat!

🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love your channel & I'm carnivore because of it! I know you have posted this in a prior video, but could you please list the model number or Amazon link for the ninja air fryer you are using. Thanks!

Another great place to get chuck roll's are at US FOODS/ Chef Stores... They have great prices on meat and there no membership ... Love me some chuck eye steaks.

I saw a full Chuck roll you cut $5.49 pound at Sam’s you got a great deal

What kind of air fryer do you have? And do you have videos on how to process (like cut up) a chuck roll?

I buy the whole ribeye from Costco and cut my own steaks. Butcher wizard channel shows the break down its pretty easy. Ground beef and chuck are also inexpensive at Costco.

That weird piece of meat look like a Tarantula!

That was a good buy on meat.

Is that steak or like the roll of ground chuck?! Thats super good for either

wow! that's a whole lotta meat!!!🥰😍🥰😍🥰

What do you cook the eggs in?

I have never eaten a chuck steak. Only as roast which I don’t care for and ground chuck. I usually eat a 1lb mid rare sirloin for lunch. How would you describe the texture and chew compared to a sirloin? If it’s close I’d like to save $.

Carnivore diet intrigues me. I did keto last year, but carnivore sounds delicious

Hi guys! Enjoy your videos. May I ask how you prepare your sardines? Or do you eat them straight from the tin?

Did you two just dive cold turkey into carnivore? I'm having a problem craving frozen grapes & strawberries. I've never really liked the taste of beef so just jumping in cold turkey is kinda hard

Costco and sams carry choice and prime

That is good steak but it’s not prime as noted on your label. Still good though. We recently got a good chunk from Costco it was 30 lbs and makes a great steak and makes great ground beef. Enjoy.

How does the asking for primal cuts or big boxes work? Do you have to get there when they open? Do you just knock on the window and say "hey i want ___"?

I find all the meat I need at Aldi dumpsters, pounds sounds so weird to me, as we go by metric since 1988 😊

I've been cooking eggs in my muffing pan!

Get those aging bags and you can age it in your fridge for 2-4 weeks and it cuts with a fork

Can you kindly do a more thorough video on how exactly you store your meat, when you thaw them for cooking etc etc? Do you ever put the meat in the air fryer frozen?

Hello there, You made me very hungry! I have a few questions. A) You said the meat called chuck roll if I'm not mistaking? B) Was it 13 min for each side or 13 min in total? My air fryer has 2 racks with roatsrey option rather than the deep insert you have. If it doesn't work for me, what is the name of the deep fryer you have? I'm in Canada, I will try at our Costco here. I hope they have the same concept of meat purchasing. Thank you for the doing this video❤❤. Tina . No steak for Puddy??? 😂

I’m Vicky I miss seeing you your videos 😢 hope to see you soon thanks Vicky hope to here from you
