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.

It's really not that crazy. Comes out to $70/pound which is about what you'd pay for a 16oz USDA prime ribeye at Ruths Chris.

Ribeye is rich in nuclear contamination juice.

This is pretty much the only time I buy it.. when I see it's on sale. We usually order with a group of friends and it comes within a day or two and then we cut it, weigh it, and everyone pays their part. $70.83/lbs for this is a great price.

A5 Waygu is more like for a WOW appetizer and conversational piece - portion 3 oz per serving as it tastes mostly like buttery beef fat with some muscle in between. Its too rich for a steak size of 8-12oz, that is unless you find yourself the one who just like eating beef fat.

How long would you cook this in the microwave, assuming on high, I guess? A 1400W.

A5 ribeye yes.. throw them in for an extra richness conversation with a pasteurized egg yolk dip, washed down with a cab or red blend.
But for a5 you can totally go for a leaner cut that you wouldn't usually go for in the lower grades and you could easily eat more without feeling overwhelmed by the richness of the buttery fat.

Would it be cheaper if you buy the whole cow?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Can't figure ppl out that spend way beyond their means. That's part of the reason why so many are in a financial crisis.

65min each side. Place tinfoil on top to have the flavor really pop!

There wasn't a single piece of beef steak at my local Costoc that didn't have the "blade tenderized" text on its label, even the American Wagyu steaks had it.
