Fresh meat
The butcher on the corner has very fresh meat. You will pay a bit more. But if you want great cuts of meat, it is a place to go to.
Placing an order
The first road to the right coming into Puerto Jimenez, on the corner, there is a butcher shop. They have fresh meat. You can order your meat if you ask. Lomo is a beef cut in Costa Rica, which is the back part of the Back strips on a cow, very tasty. All the beef in Costa Rica is very lean, not much fat. That being the case, do not overcook your beef. For a thick steak,2 min per side on med-high heat. Then let it rest for 5 min.
I have bought a rack of lomo. You have to pre-order. I cut them into 2-inch fillets and put them in my freezer. One thing is, I love to cook a great steak and add a baked potato with all the sides. Yep Pura Vida. Allow 4 days after you place your order.
