I take into consideration on where I live globally as to where the product comes from.
The butcher also has to make their money as well.......so in all possibilities they may have paid around $20 per pound but I don't know.
That is $20 CAD ..... a US dollar cost me about $1.35 or so usually.....just for point. Sticker price was around $35 per pound.
Not sure what I got......the meat cut and tasted great, but I didn't get a ton of that nutty / buttery taste in it....but the texture was there for sure.
I used charcoal and a tad bit of smoking wood too so maybe that helped it not taste as pure as it should have. I used basic salt and pepper as it was my first go and wanted to " taste " it.
That was my experience.
I have 2 more to try out so we will see.....my cut was from the shoulder area rather than any belly or other cuts.
I forget the 4 main cuts they use but do know I have 1.2 pound roasts from the shoulder area, sorry I forget the proper name they give it.
It looked more picanha or tri tip shaped than the OP's picture.
