We normally BBQ steak once a week (occasionally twice) and over the past decade, Ribeye has been our choice of cut. I normally get them at Costco usually in a package of 4 but sometimes if very large they come 3 to a package. Last week I picked out a package of huge Ribeye's that looked outstanding but looks is many times deceptive. Tonight I BBQ'd them and I must say they were the best Ribeye's we have had in 10 years (anywhere)!

I worked my butt of today detailing my Yukon and man was it hot here! I think it hit 98º with a real feel of 109º, but after washing the vehicle outside in the driveway I pulled it into our 3 car garage which is air conditioned. Finishing up the last few hours was quite comfortable however the first 90 minutes outside was brutal! Anyway, I finished up and was looking forward to relaxing the rest of the afternoon. Then my cell phone rang and a neighbor down the street told me his Moen-Flo shut off valve had burst and water was spewing all over. I helped him out by replacing the broken devise with a new section of pipe and returned home. When my wife told me she took a steak out for dinner I was not happy! I was not in the mood to BBQ tonight as I was really beat! That said, like a nice guy, I did BBQ and man am I glad I did! Tonight's dinner was off the chart delicious. Usually Costco steaks are good but tonight's Ribeyes were just the one in a decade steaks & just melted in our mouths. I also thank the cow as well - lol!

Ribeye is my #1 choice but am turned off by thin over done steaks in most restaurants. I want to see a large piece of cap on my steak and in fact forgot about listing the Cap steak as my absolute favorite however rare they may be. I will make my own when purchasing a full or partial rib from the butcher, remove the Cap and eat it separately from the rib.
I was looking in the 50% off section at my local Safeway, where I often get some great deals for meat that doesn't fit our usual choice for quality but are a great deal anyway. I ran across a pair of T-Bones that had extra large tenderloin portions, practically Porterhouse we had those Sunday on the Traeger and were both highly pleased with the choice (NPI).
 
I grew tired of steakhouse servers asking if I needed steak sauce for my ribeye. I finally asked one if their steak tasted that bad. Minimum wage stare as they didn't know what to say. Just bring me a good steak and leave me alone to enjoy it.
