Damn, $54 for that beast. That’s such a fatty piece, probably gonna render amazingly. Good luck with your cooking. Can you do anything with the excess fat that will get trimmed? Unsure about your question, though!

This is a ripoff. Don’t buy it.

You’re putting a ribeye roast in the crock pot!!? Don’t do that, it’s a huge waste of money. You want a cheaper, tougher cut of meat, the long slow cooking is what tenderizes it.

Rib roast in the crock pot? Is this real life?

The one behind it looks better.

Hand cut and trimmed in store? Does that mean they trim it for you because it definitely doesn’t look trimmed. Also don’t worry about the people telling you it’s a waste of money, use your money as you like.

Hand cut & trimmed… by Stevie Wonder.
I would ask for a deep discount and render the fat for fries.

If it’s hand trimmed in store, I would ask them to trim a little or actually a lot more! I would never pay for that much waste. How insulting!

This isn’t even a rib roast it’s a short loin roast? I also wouldn’t typically use ribeye or strip loin for Italian beef sandwiches. Something much leaner would be the move no reason to not just use a chuck

Man, tough crowd. I understand it’s blasphemous to put this in the crockpot. As I said in another comment, had every intention of buying a chuck roast, but these were on sale for $7.99/lb vs the $10.99/lb chuck roasts.

Just a tip for cheaper beefs that are awesome. Get two to three packs of the shaved beef they sell at the grocery store for Phillys. Buy some of this stuff,[Beef Seasoning](https://www.louieseasoning.com/product/italian-beef-seasoning-6-3oz-packages/). Add the seasoning and beef broth together with the meat and heat up until the meat is cooked. Banging beef for cheap.

That is way too much fat, its not a good ribeye either, and I would never throw it in a crock pot.

They had to have been feeding that cow a steady diet of milkshakes and fried twinkies

Rib eye roast is just a prime rib. Dang that a fat fat cap though. You’re paying for so much fat that you’re going to be cutting off.

Hand trimmed by a guy who gets a cutback on the beef margins. That’s horseshit

I wouldn’t take that cut unless it was free. All the talk in here about tallow is ridiculous. I’m not paying 7.99 a pound for tallow. That’s a ludicrous amount of fat.

That is not a ribeye roast, it clearly says NY strip loin roast on the package, this will turn giga dry and terrible slow cooking.

This is not a ribeye roast. It even tells you exactly what it is on the label.

Are you in need of beef tollow, for candles or other things?

There’s this thing called “cracklings” in the south. It’s just ham fat in a slow cooker for…..ever? Like 8 hours+. You could try it with beef. Cut all that fat into small videos and slow cook it. I do that with all my cheap ass ham and it’s amazing. Then you pour the fat into a container and save it for frying.

Use this method instead! https://youtu.be/hfT6XVSa2xE?si=_oVVZeQtdpI7nBCb
whatta scam

Trim it all off and use it to deep fry french fries at home.
The meat looks marbled enough to taste good without it.
