In the heyday of my life
That is, in my prime.
after an excellent cut of meat
That is, a prime cut.
a typical example
... a prime example ...
of my main concern
... my prime concern ...
was an apostrophe.
Not exactly -- but the prime used by mathematicians to indicate differentiation and the like ($f'$) somewhat resembles an apostrophe.
And of course
"paramount" is another word that can be an approximate synonym of "prime".
* * * * *
Number the words-and-asterisks from 1 upwards; the words are in the prime positions and the asterisks in the others.

You've got the clues absolutely correct, but the asterisks part is important. It will make sense when you see it :-)

Wow, did you just know that Grothendieck fact offhand or did you look up the number?

@LordFarquaad: It's a pretty well-known "joke" in the mathematics community. (There's a very low bar for math humor.)

@Deusovi no no no, math humor's the best! How else can you start jokes with "An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar..." ?

Yes, I did know offhand about the Grothendieck prime. I'm fairly well versed in mathematical humour, though.
