My dad bought part of a cow, grass fed I'm told, and gave me a couple ribeyes to try out. When I opened the paper wrapper, I was surprised how dark red the meat was....deep ruby red, I hadn't seen beef quite like that before. It was nicely marbled and turned out very tasty, but even when cooked to medium rare then medium, the meat inside was still very red so it deceivingly looked more rare than it actually was. He got a brisket from the same cow that I'm going to cook sometime, I figure it'll probably look about the same color when I open it. Granted, I don't cook a lot of non-store bought (Sam's/Costco) beef, I have had "grass fed" beef before and those ribeyes weren't quite like this.
