    Capless ribeyes. Good marbling, but not a deal for me

  3. those look like Filets to me, they need a little more trimming to get that thin layer of skin off.

    I would sous vide to 125 or so and then sear.

    If thats a capless ribeye and you do 125 you’re going to be VERY disappointed and chewing the marbled fat. Maybe 135 for a strip but for anything with real fat needing to be rendered like a ribeye, it is 137 for me.

    oh man, it isn’t like I’d throw those away, but I sure wouldn’t pay $23/lb without the spinalis. That’s just depressing. Now I know where they get those packs of “Ribeye crowns” from…..

    Damn you paid quite the premium for a castrated ribeye.

  7. $23/lb for the eye steak of a ribeye is criminal. Like others have said, no. That’s a well marbled ribeye. But it doesn’t have the cap on it, which is the best part. My Costco cuts the spinalis off too, then wraps them in a little spiral and sells them as separate steaks. It’s so frustrating. I just want a good prime ribeye sometimes. My kid has turned me into a prime strip steak kinda gal, just cus Costco does this shit.
