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".

Quote from Onepagebook :
Bruh, you are clueless and your statements are are baseless and dangerous to those that don't know. I buy beef for major retailers and costco is one of only three retailers in the United States that you can count on in terms of their standards they call for and inspect from the farms they purchase from.. While they are a direct competitor I would never hate on them for thier quality standards. You're that guy that justifies Kroger meats....
I simply said that costco meats are less tasty to me than those I purchase elsewhere. That hardly makes me clueless. Also that costco mechanically tenderizes their meats, which is less sanitary. That also is factual because having a blade penetrate the interior of the meat is less sanitary. I understand that Costco has high quality standards, but for some reason, they are tasteless to me compared to other places I buy steaks from. If you are such an expert, please explain why their meat is less tasty, even though higher quality? How does the taste of the meat enter into their quality standards?

Does he mean air fryer?

I've pretty much heard it is incredibly hard to screw up cooking wagyu, tastes awesome regardless of your method.

Quote from Backhome77 :
I wish this were running through the end of the year. Since the pandemic forced us to stay in for New Year's a couple years back, we've gotten in the habit of making an extravagant NYE meal and inviting a few good friends over instead of going out partying. This would be a great course.
You can still buy it now and have it for that time. I'm 95% sure that this will come in a vacuum sealed package, with a certificate of authenticity from Japan. Vacuum sealed meats such as this will last for a couple of months at a minimum. Once opened you'll want to have a plan for the meat though. In other words, don't open the cryovac and use a portion as soon as you get it and then cut pieces off over the course of a few weeks. Save it until you need it, then portion the remaining parts into different foodsaver or similar vacuum bags and vacuum seal them until needed. Toss these into the refrigerator and use within 2-3 weeks or toss in the freezer and they can last a couple of years at a minimum.

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.
I always wondered about that.... something is off about their steaks compared to the same grade from other places. I've gotten to the point where I just don't buy them there anymore. They're not very good and I never knew - still don't know - why.

The best way to eat this is Japanese style, yakiniku on a small grill. Enjoy with Japanese rice (calrose) and between bites pickled mustard greens to help cut the fat.

Cut into several 1-1.5" x 2-2.5 bite sized pieces about 1/4" thick on a hot grill to quickly sear it while medium-medium/rare in the middle. Instantly cook each bite as you go.
Melt in your mouth delicious!
However being A5 and ribeye cut, this will be insanely rich.
I actually prefer slightly lower grades with less fat to bring back some meatiness texture.

Think of this as like a Jamon Iberico, small slices/portion at a sitting where you can appreciate the quality and have plenty more for later!

BJ's often gets Prime Ribeye and NY Strip(occasional Tenderloin).
The QUALITY is far superior to Costco, even with the blade mutilization of the prime/choice meat it's tough and stringy.

Costco price/quality is horrible, including cuts/trimming.
Much better cuts at the local publix supermarket for similar pricing(when on sale).
Publix has great meats but not everyone has as Publix

It's an extravagance, like a Disney vacation, you don't need to afford it.
Sad that a Disney vacation is an extravagance nowadays. Used to be not, and when it became more expensive that traveling first class around the world, it was me last time going .. Some time around 2011. I simply won't return again unless it ever becomes normally expensive, unlikely

My thoughts are that people who can afford this aren't likely to hang out on slickdeals.
Slickdeals has been around long enough to save me money when I was poor and to continue to save me money now that things have improved. Why would I not want the best value on a purchase? Plus, you can learn so much by reading the deal comments. And the crazy comments on any undies post are worth the price of admission.

Interesting, I'll have to try sams club meat. I figured it would be junk compared to costco.
Sam's has had a lot of meat recalls, my father in law always shopped there and always complained about it.
