20 years of breaking down primals and I never noticed this rib trick
I was breaking down a whole ribeye for a wedding order in Austin last month and kept fighting with the cap. Old timer named Hank walked by, grabbed my knife, and showed me I was cutting against the grain on the cap tie. Had been doing it backwards since I started in 2004 and nobody ever caught it. Has anyone else had a basic move they butchered forever without realizing?

Tbh sounds like Hank saved you from another 20 years of fighting that cap. Must feel nice to finally be cutting it right instead of wrestling it.

Ha, yeah I guess Hank did me a solid whether I like to admit it or not. Now I just gotta figure out how to not make the same mistake twice and screw up the next one.
