"First let's define what a cow is. A lot of people think any bovine is a cow. That's not true. A cow is a female who has had a calf. Since they calve for the first time around two years of age, she will be three years or more typically. A steer is a male animal who has been castrated. The only reason to produce a steer is for beef. So we feed them appropriately. They are usually slaughtered at around two years of age, having been fed for high quality beef for about 6 months.
If that cow is fairly young, and is fed with grain (or on grass) to a higher condition of body fat, she could be as good as steer beef! But typically steers are fed specifically for the most efficient and highest quality meat. Cows are typically entering the food chain because they are not productive, and are probably thinner. So they are made into ground beef. We do consume a lot of cow beef in the United States, but it is as ground beef."
Most dirt cheap beef tenderloin is previously frozen cow tenderloin. Kinda like the $2.99 T-Bone steaks at Save-a-lot, cow meat purchased cheap, then they split out the few cuts more valuable than grinding for hamburger. Still a tasty steak, but not a $250/plate steakhouse signature item.
Will go to Costco tomorrow. Repped!
Tenderloin is not my favorite cut and I just stocked up on prime tri tip a couple weeks ago, or else I would've gotten it.
