I don't think Costco people would tenderize steaks mechanically (simply add more labor cost). They usually cut their steaks fresh in bulk from vacuum-sealed whole pieces (usually gone within 1-2 days) while retail stores keep their steaks out on ice for much longer. Therefore Costco steaks appear to be tender and wet. As steak dries and protein/fat starts to degrade, the beefy flavor becomes more pronounced, like aging. I feel you probably will like ribeye cap a lot.
====================================================================
Fact check: I was wrong. They do tenderize most single-cut steaks with blades.

From what I recall, they do mechanically tenderize most of their steaks, unlikely for this though. I believe you can see it on the label as "Blade Tenderized".

Actually, the richest people are most often the cheapest.

Thanks OP...now I'm on the lookout for a deal on plenty of charcoal to make sure I cook this extra well done. A ketchup deal would also be clutch...

Isn't cooking any high quality steak well done a waste?? Think

Seems you are being sarcastic, especially with the ketchup reference. laugh out loud

The best steak I ever had was at a Japanese steakhouse near Toyoto City, Japan.

I've been there many times. They have a cheaper option which is sometimes recommended over the more expensive steak, depending on factors I don't really understand. This shows me how honest they are though. I go with their recommendation and always get amazing, delicious, mouth-watering steak. I overdid it last time though, and ate so much that I did not want any steak for quite some time afterwards. Too much of a good thing is real! laugh out loud

On average it's only $70 to $100 per person for amazing steak. The same steak in Tokyo could cost hundreds of dollars, but due to the somewhat remote location near Toyota City, it was a bargain. Their steak is much better than Peter Luger at its finest in NYC, known to be one of the best steak houses in the USA, which is still very good steak but has declined a little in recent years.
Can you let us know the name of the place? Thank you

I forgot to add that the exchange rate is currently very favorable for the US dollar.

My local costco occasionally has american Wagyu on sale, 2 pieces of ribeye for around $60. tried it and it was very good. I usually dont buy steaks at costco because they are tasteless, even their prime and lower grades have been mechanically tenderized, which is less sanitary. I find steaks at Sams and safeway better tasting than costco's steaks.
It's all the same my man. Like gasoline.

Got one of these before the pandemic to cut into steaks and split with some friends. It's ridiculous how rich it is. If you're going to get it, my recommendation is to cut it into relatively thin (3/4" thick) steaks and serve it over nice short grain rice like Nishiki, with a bit of good soy sauce on the side. 🤤

Nah, unless you're going to be near Toyota City in Japan, it doesn't matter. Few people, even among those who go to Japan, ever will be.

It's nowhere near Tokyo or the nearby cities travelers usually frequent.

Which method do you recommend ? Boil this or deep fried Wagyu ?
Clearly, this should be used as dog food or cat food. Peasant meat. I only eat endangered species or reconstituted extinct ones from Jurassic Park. Buffalo T-Rex arms are a delicacy and my guilty pleasure.

My thoughts are that people who can afford this aren't likely to hang out on slickdeals.
I don't think you fully understand the demographics of those who hang out on slickdeals. I have been on this site for over 16 years. My net worth and household income has changed significantly over that time, for the btter... perhaps partially BECAUSE I hang out on slickdeals! While I won't bite (pun intended) on this deal, that doesn't mean I couldn't.

I am quite sure I am not the only one.

I'm curious about that myself - I usually cast iron pan fry Costco Choice or Prime ribeye or NY strip. Such a fatty meat would probably make a big mess with that method.

So, maybe give the name of the place?? Or a link if they have a site? My mouth is watering.
