Just picked up a sous vide and I’ve been having steak for lunch and dinner, I can’t get enough ribeye. I always went for that top part first but this really helps explain why and helps me when I get my next wagyu ribeye from the butcher tomorrow.

Great video, but how about the fat between the cap and the eye? does it matter?

@periapsis_synapses 4 ай бұрын

I've had inconsistent results from ribeyes. Some just seem to "fall apart" and are swimming in the fat, and other have been, well, a little tough. I believe this is why. There are likely additional reasons for the results I've been getting, but I feel much more confident now to select one. Great video. :)

Since I began cooking and eating steak regularly a few years ago, my one biggest rule of thumb is be willing to walk away if they don't have what you think are good steaks. Several times I've gone shopping for steak and come back empty handed because none of the ones available looked right to me. I always have an extra steak or two (or three or four) by buying when I can find good steaks, so I can walk away and still be having a nice steak.

Dig the Aussie-meets-Texas twang! A well marbled choice ribeye can be as good as a prime. I buy whole ribeyes at Costco all the time and my wife is shocked after finding out she is not eating Prime.

I get chuckeye steaks for like 5$ at my grocery store. It’s right next to the ribeye and just about as good but WAY cheaper.

Great tip Jess, or cap😉

@psidvicious 3 жыл бұрын

The steak you chose was probably the first or second steak cut from the ‘roast’, closest to the chuck or shoulder. The other looked like about the last steak cut, nearest to the hind quarter bcz there was almost no spinalis at all. The best price for beef that I’ve found is not in TX, but in FL. Those same steaks are $10-11/lb in all the supermarkets (choice). From November thru December you can get standing rib roasts (which is what those steaks are cut from) for $5.99/lb.

Florida is actually a huge beef state. I can get great ribeyes here at sams or costco for $11-$12 and they're phenomenal. They also have tomahawk steaks too for a really good price.

@carlyleellis6984 3 жыл бұрын

great explanation of how to choose a ribeye for the larger spinalis portion but how do you choose one for less gristle? I am tired of throwing away $25. a week for a steak that looks great but is tuff as a boot and filled with gristle.

@psidvicious 3 жыл бұрын

The smaller the spinalis gets, the tougher that line of gristle will be (generally). Run your finger over it in the package and you should be able to feel it.

@djtblizzle 3 жыл бұрын

So how do you get the eye as tender as the cap? Or is that even possible?

@pauldiesel4582 Жыл бұрын

Great video! I might add that the tender portion tends to have a ring like appearance and will be consistently marbled. At Costco you can often see steaks marked as “choice” really are “prime” in marbling. I look at every package and find gold often.

@punkem733 Жыл бұрын

There was an article like 15 years ago (forgot where I read it where costco meat labeled prime is really high choice.

@drk321 10 ай бұрын

USDA actually grades the steaks not Costco so no, Costco does not sell prime as choice. Please stop spreading disinformation. We have too much of that nowadays. Are you a Trump voter? Probably.....

@woolval52 3 жыл бұрын

LOL, now I'll be rifling thru all the ribeyes. Hmm, how do I get my butcher to cut this from the center of his loin? Great info, I never knew! (but then, there's a lot I don't know...)

@psidvicious 3 жыл бұрын

Not so much the center of the loin as the first ~6 cuts, closest to the chuck. From the spinalis, the steak she chose was probably number 1 or 2.

Nothing like butchering an animal and see that fat cap on a muscle of meat🥹, it's a lot $ to buy a side or half, but is worth it if take time. Try getting a ribeye out of a deer lol, not like market🧟. But a ribeye is most beautiful with a marbled eye, fatty deckle🥹, great job girl, made me hungry🤠
