Back in the day, my mother would ask to speak to the butcher - when supermarkets still had butchers on staff - some still do - as in my Florida panhandle Publix local grocery. My mother knew and the butcher knew that the bright red rib-eyes were nowhere near as tasty as the brown ones they took off display as un-sellable. It got to the point where he saved her those best brown steaks. If you have a butcher in your grocery ask him for the BROWN meat - it is ready to broil and you’ll be rewarded - maybe even get a discount.
