Whole Ribeye Rib

DerHusker · 11-30-2015, 01:26 AM

Last week they put Ribeye Roasts on sale for $6.99 a lb. and $5.88 a lb. if you purchased $25.00 of other items. This is a great price so I went in to buy a roast and they didn’t have any good looking ones out in the display case so I asked for one from the back. They brought out a whole rib to cut me one. When I saw it I told them I’d just buy the whole thing. Here it is in the cryovac plastic. (Approx. 21” long and 22 lbs.)

Unwrapped.

It was so big I cut it in half for easier handling.

Oooh! Nice color.

I cut it into approximate 3” thick, bone-in steaks.

I kept one out for immediate use and vacuum packed the rest for future meals.

Oh yeah!

Nice score! We get prices like that every now and again and I'm hoping for a similar score next time those prices come up.

Nice looking roast you lucky carnivore. One of my goto stores has prime for $5.99 but I can't justify a whole or even a half a roast. Maybe 3 ribs. Good eating to you and yours.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. I have had pretty good results with Albertson's Prime ribs, although I haven't bought one there for several years, I prefer Cash and Carry.

Next time you "take the plunge" like that Jeff, tell the butcher that you'll save him the time and trouble of cutting it and ask him if he'll give you a better deal. The last time I did that, it was either Albertson's or Safeway, and I believe it was Albertson's, but in any case, the butcher gave me an additional .50 cents a pound off the sale price.

Those are some fine looking steaks my friend, looking forward to your future pron

Low and slow, with a sear on either the beginning or the end depending on your preference.
