I always buy tenderloin or filet minion and coat it in salt and pepper, then fry it for 3 minutes per side in butter and wrap it in tinfoil for 10 mins. The steaks usually come out just about perfect for my taste.

Yesterday, these prime strip steaks from market basket caught my eye due to the marbling. The picture may not do it justice but it’s one of the better looking cuts of meat I’ve seen in a grocery store but I’m no expert.

Any thoughts on the quality of this steak and suggestions on how to cook it. I have no grill, just an oven with broiler, air fryer/toaster oven, and gas stovetop. Thanks in advance.

    Nice marbling, not too much fat for my taste. I’d use the stove top with a cast iron with avocado oil. 3 and 3 like you said, add butter and let rest for 5-10 min.

    Now thats life right up there.. Congrats on that piece. Bon Appetit

  3. That’s an upgrade from filet in my book. Great marbling, you won’t miss the fat cap they trimmed too much off of.

    Dude $15 for this is actually crazy for what looks like a really quality piece of steak. Hope you enjoy!

    Take a sharp knife and slice off the cap of gristle and fat. Put it in a cast-iron skillet on low heat and render the fat. Use that fat to cook the steak. You don’t need avocado oil or any other kind of oil. I don’t know why people leave that part on the steak. It makes no sense. Put salt on all four sides of the steak and put it in the refrigerator on a rack for a couple of hours before cooking. Enjoy.

    Here’s mine for tonight. AU wagyu.

    I wish prime grade NY strips were 20 dollars a lb in my area lol.

    Last I looked it was 35

  7. Gas stovetop is all you need. This is an excellent prime steak, great buy.

  8. We bought delmonicos that looked like this. They were pretty tough, unbelievably.

    I’m still stuck on the fact he said filet minion 😂😂😂

    A little too raw for me, also the sear isn’t that great to be honest.

    Too rare for me!

    🙂

    Toss back on for another 63 seconds.

    I would be so very tempted to use the Alton Brown “Lay It Directly On White-Hot Natural Charcoal for 3-4min Per Side” method.

    Ok… so you work there and changed the price to see how we would react. Funny!

    Looks rotten, send it to me for proper disposal.
    P.S. use ice in the shipping box

    What is a beaut! That is an amazing piece of meat.

    I’m most impressed that you didn’t have to pay for the excessive circumferential fat. I seldom see such a clean steak. Does it come in ribeye?

    Bro the marbling is insane. I wouldn’t even use oil on it. Just sear on high 1 min both sides and throw in aromatics (garlic, shallots) with some butter on low heat and baste till desired doneness or temperature

  18. Picture may not do it justice?

    What are you talking about? That looks like an excellent cut

  19. Obi-Wanna_Blow_Me

    My preference is that it has a little bit too much fat. But don’t get me wrong I’d eat that up so hard. ESPECIALLY for $15.

    Great find, amazing price, beautiful piece of meat. Happy Saturday

    You can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a steer’s ass but I’d rather take the butcher’s word for it.
