Haven't been in a while since we moved up to NW DC, but I think it was Union that often has "Day old steaks" that have been frozen for a dollar or two off regular price. Often had USDA Prime available.

I am not sure it is worth the drive but there is a Market on Main Street in Laurel (near the racetrack) that has excellent steaks in the back of the nondescript store. I cannot remember the name now but the prices were very good and steaks excellent and thick cut.

Come up to Jefferson and go to Hemp's Meat Market, Or Middletown to the South Mountain Creamery.

(Pick up some Ice Cream and eggs while you are there)

Wagshaws if you are wealthy. I also hit eastern market for prime beef. About 2/3 the price of wagshaws there.

I've been impressed with Grosvenor Market the 3-4 times I've been in there. I'll have to give their butcher a try.

Unfortunately, TJ has issues with labeling their meat correctly:

Call the Grosvenor Market and tell the butcher what you want. They have the best service and meat!

Balducci, Fresh Market or McLean Butcher
