Costco uses meat tenderizer on a lot of their cuts. I know they do on the caps. I buy brisket there but not steaks.

Please clarify. They us "meat tenderizer" or "a meat tenderizer"?

Yes, I have tried the ribeye caps.  Those are unreal.  I also unroll them and cook them on the BGE super, super hot. 
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Are the ribeye caps you speak of, sold separately at Costco? My wife just eats the eye so I get a cap for my next day’s lunch.

Yep. That fatty, amazing outside strip. Possibly the best piece of the cow. They pinwheel them and tie them into steaks. I recommend uncoiling them and putting the strips on skewers, and a minute on a wicked hot grill. God it's good.

Oh, and your wife is crazy! But you're the beneficiary! :chuckle:
Ribeye caps are among the most underrated cut on the cow without question. Also a big fan of the picanha--the top sirloin cap.


Those are called the coulotte steak.. I was in the meat industry for 35 years and we were selling "coulotte steaks" back in the '70's. We cut all the steaks for the Keg & Butcher Baker Candlestick Maker Restaurants and they wanted center cut only. I bought 20,000 pounds of whole choice top sirloin a week. So, we had all the caps left over and marketed them as coulotte steaks. Pretty good steaks...they plump when you cook them.

And yes, Prime Rib is a cut...not a USDA grade. There are or used to be quite a few grades...Standard ( mostly dairy cows that were boned and ground for burger-- USDA Good -- No roll, a non- grade . the packers would have the federal meat inspector not roll the beef with a grade stamp--it was not quite marbled enough for a choice but better than a Good. That way they got more money for a "no Roll" than to roll it with the Good grade.-- USDA Choice -- and USDA Prime. I would put a Prime grade NY strip on the shelf in the cooler and leave it for 45 days before cutting it. Can't describe how fantastic that was..I was really spoiled.
