As a result of the economic downturn, there’s been a drop in restaurant demand for the premium steakhouse cuts and they’re making their way into grocery stores. The steakhouse cuts are your T-bone, porterhouse and ribeyes, the tender bits you find in the short loin.

Not bad!

Cut Avg. Jan ’09 Avg. Jan ’08 Percent Diff.
Tenderloin $13.63 $14.12 3.47%
Ribeye $8.41 $8.86 5.08%
Top Loin (boneless) $7.26 $7.87 7.75%
Top Loin (bone-in) $5.21 $5.47 4.75%
Sirloin (boneless) $4.64 $5.21 10.94%
Porterhouse $6.83 $7.77 12.10%
T-bone $6.20 $6.83 9.22%
