Chinatown posted:Just get a nice prime ribeye, cook it well, and stroll through Flavor Country. Wagyu is a great example of diminishing returns. ribeye is like easy mode for steak, it's just so flavorful, and even if you overcook it a little it just renders the fat and it stays buttery

I find filet mignon a lot more forgiving. Even if you cook it to shoe leather levels of overcooked it stays fairly tender. And it's hard to kill the flavor when it's not a very flavorful piece of meat to begin with. Yes ribeyes are king of steak mountain. But I've had plenty of terrible ribeyes and very few bad filet mignons.

Costco Prime NY streaks are pretty bomb and considerably cheaper per lb than their Ribeyes from my experience. I'll saute some of the baby portabellas from Costco in the meat juices and maybe some of worcestershire sauce for some bomb mushrooms to top the steak.

Don’t be intimidated by dry aging either. It can be easily accomplished (or approximated) in your fridge.

The Prime NY Strips that Costco has are probably the best steaks I’ve found without going to a butcher. I generally cook them by reverse searing them, or sous vide if I forgot to thaw one out early enough. I picked up a Samsung ultra wide monitor to do some video work, and they are fantastic. The Co had a Samsung 34” 3440x1440 and it’s perfect, plus was under $300.

The choice steak at Costco is somehow much better than the choice steaks at the grocery store. There's like grades within grades.

grade quality is 100% fat marbling. taste quality is like 20% fat marbling and the rest is what the cow ate. grass fed hides a huge possible spectrum of stuff they eat and the rest is tasteless silage

I’ve heard good things about Argentinean grass fed beef and it’s on my list of places I’d like to visit some day. They take beef seriously with massive awesome steaks.

"Theme park worthy" is how we describe shoes you can walk miles in, and the Sketchers Birkenstock knock offs are it!  PBUC, also got shrimp, bacon, pub mix, pistachios and fully stocked to the ceiling paper products (sign for limits of 1 for TP and paper towels gone). It was busy but not nutso. They were 'ready' with all lanes open. Did not partake in the amazing dog (plus refill) as the line was long. :P Funny aside, our cashier was named 'Matt' and his helper was also Matt, and we said 'So, are there any other Matt's that can come help?' and one said "There were, but we absorbed them..." It was funny! Kudos for a great attitude and can have fun with your customers!  A++ will Costco again

I've seen deals you people wouldn't believe. Free samples mobbed with shoppers off of the main isleway. I watched onions glitter in the sun as they fell from the crank dispenser. All those savings will be accrued, in time, like rewards in cash Time to pay.

Yeah choice at Costco is better than my local butcher but about that same as HEB Choice but HEB in general is the only grocery store that I'd consider remotely close to Costco in quality in both products and in how they treat/care for their employees

I usually buy a lot of my steaks from Save Mart (in California); they sell non-rated Ribeye that will go on sale for $6 or $7 per pound and as long as I eyeball the package I can pick one that's better than Costco Choice. Picked up one of those vacuum bags of a full ribeye roast for $5 a lb and that's been good eating, but now I'm talking about Save Mart in the Costco thread. I did get Costco Choice Prime Rib Roast all prepped up, tied, and seasoned in a pan for $6/lb on clearance after new years. That was good eating too.

That bag of Birds Eye frozen garlic chicken isn’t bad. Not gourmet by any means but perfectly acceptable bachelor chow/something quick for the kids for like $1.75 a pound.

SchnorkIes posted:but what steaks should I get if I want a decadent Costco steak slab experience? I love me a flank steak, marinated overnight in teriyaki, suis vide to 128F, sear on the grill or a cast iron skillet (somewhere near as hot as it will get, usually 1min/side), cut into 1/4" slices AGAINST the grain. Lot of places don't carry flank and skirt steaks, but both are loaded with flavor but need to be prepared properly or they can be tough/stringy.

Just chiming in to say that I love this thread I don't have too much to add because I haven't been able to go to Costco because you know the plague. My mom's fully vaccinated and the list I'm giving her to buy for me is $300 long. I can't wait to go it's about 5 weeks away and being able to go will be like a milestone for my life getting a tiny bit back to normal. It's possible I'll cry

I still have a bunch of that cold brew left over from buying it last year. I wasn't a fan. Too strong for me which is weird because I used to drink strong black coffee exclusively. Is there a way to dress it up? Could I just add creamer and sugar and keep it ice cold?

My FIL learned that I am part of the super Costco friends' thread that keeps each other up to date. He asked me to keep an eye out for a spread he loves but hasn't been around for a while. I don't remember what he called it, though. Olive something. Olive temerfol? It was a word I never heard before. Edit : olive tapenade . Thanks google!

Too strong for me which is weird because I used to drink strong black coffee exclusively. Its common to dilute cold brew with just straight up water or creamer. You can also add ice etc... I don't know if the cans come already diluted some or not, but when you order cold brew at a shop, the baristas usually add water or something to dilute it since its just a concentrate.

Yea I make cold brew at home and when I fix up a cup, I usually go with 2/3 coffee and 1/3 almond milk. Straight up cold brew is really strong.
