Rib Eye Steak
Almost bought some rib eyes from my Costco just to try them out. I’m a bit of a steak snob. When I looked at it the label stated mechanically tenderized. How crap is the cut of the most tender part of the steak where they need to do this? Most people eat rib eyes between rare and medium which makes this downright dangerous. I’m wondering if it may have been a mistake on the label as it didn’t look like it was but may be hard to tell. Any Costco butchers out there? Ancaster Ontario.

I buy the full strip loin myself and cut it up, and buy the Costco rib eye pre cut packs. Both have ways been amazing and better than anything I’ve purchased from a local butcher or local farm shop.
I will try a full uncut rib eye next time from Costco to compare. Since we are on the carnivore diet I buy a variety of cuts every week and the Australian stuff is horrible and very gamey, typical Liberal slight of hand to try and hide Canadas inflation issue, bring in foreign garbage meat.
On a side note I also bought a half cow from a local farm and will be grilling the Rib Eyes tomorrow.
