We have a Costco, but I've never seen prices that cheap on PRIME brisket. I did, however, find an awesome package of prime filet mignon mis-marked as top sirloin. $9.99/lbs versus about $19.99/lbs. Just happened to be when I was buying steaks for my son's high school graduation, so he was as happy as I was!

have to disagree. Tenderloins are definitely marbled, Prime more so than choice.That looks a lot more like sirloin than filet to me. Most filet, even prime is not marbled like that. The small top sirloin steaks like that are great eating though. Use to get them for 3 buck a lb about 10 years ago in Fl, don't see them here in Denver much though

Wow that meat looks good. Ever tried sous vide?
Could be and I definitely can see the similarities in the picture, but I'm pretty sure they were filet mignon after eating them. We eat top sirloin more than any other steak cut because of the price. Well, that and what our store calls a "first cut strip".
I was talking to the wife that day and said that I thought they were probably put there on purpose and meant for someone else - maybe a meat market guy helping out a friend. I say this because I have never before or since seen that cut at Costco. It was the only pack there and it was buried under a stack of filets. My wife hates it, but I usually dig through everything available when buying steaks.
I didn't notice any negative affects from freezing mine. I just gave it several days in the fridge to thaw out slowly and then cooked it. It was delicious.Bought a brisket last week, but wasn't able to cook it immediately, so had to freeze it. Is that going to negatively affect it?
