Dunno 'bout you, but I love steak! Thick, grilled steak. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. For what it's worth, right now WINCO has the full slab of either rib eye or filet mignon for $3/lb. They come fresh in a sealed pack- kinda bloody, but the most tender steaks I have had in my life. I cut them (2") and grill to my heart's content. Great price for us steak lovers. For those of you who are vegans, drop dead.
Good stuff! Have you ever done your own dry aging? When I buy our Christmas roast, I buy it 3 1/2 weeks early and dry age it in our spare fridge. You have to get the temperature (35-38) and humidity (50-60) controls right, but it makes a huge difference.
+1 And I ALWAYS have to have creamed spinach with steak. HAVE to, its not a steak dinner without it. and some scotch. fuck red wine.
Reminds me of a great Reverend Horton Heat song. I just looked it up for this thread and this video was genius: [video=youtube;Muvz6OnY4O8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muvz6OnY4O8[/video]
Thanks for the tip! That youtube video made me want to get out and get me some beef for dinner tonight. Hopefully the Boise Winco has the same deal going.
I had a Wagyu ribeye last year, so overrated. It was grown in Idaho I believe. The worst part is they overcooked the first one and had to fire me up a new one. Dunno, there's too much fat in it that the flavors are muted. Give me a nice dry-aged steak anyday over that.
Someone else once told me that, as well. When I asked them where they buy their meat, they said, "Costco."
