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.

Mechanically tenderized? Hardly. I can watch the butcher cut the steaks (Strip, PH) and that's all. But, the steaks have a lot of waste fat and are not well trimmed. I can do better at my local Giant or Shop RIte when on sale.

I had wagyu at a Michelin star restaurant and it was life changing. I fear this wouldn't be the same result.

Certificate of authentcity included. Because the fake meat market is rampant
I got the 6 lbs striploin last year
The "certificate" is total BS and just a photocopied piece of paper saying it's authentic lol no actual numbers to verify origin.
Some butcher shops in Japan actually do have legitimate certificates

With that said, I have actually traveled around Japan and eaten 10+ varieties of wagyu and this does indeed taste like real kuroge wagyu. (just not super high end requiring registration numbers and stuff)

Would it be a bad idea to cook this on a charcoal or pellet grill?

Not true. The reason I have saved so much money is because I still coupon cut and am always looking for a good deal.
I've yet to try wagu myself due to the price, I can afford yet I'm too cheap to spend this much on this particular meat. My go to is aged ribeyes for a nice dinner

That's correct. They're cooking it on their BGE in an acacia table.
