Why do I keep buying ribeyes when ...

[Silock]

the KC Strip is simply a better tasting cut of meat?

I mean, I'm still going to eat them, but the strip is just better every single time I make it.

You're aware a porterhouse is like 70 percent strip steak, right?

Can't beat a ribeye in my book, but you can't go wrong with a strip either.

The strip is the good part of the Porterhouse/T-bone, which is why I just buy the strip and ignore the Porterhouse/T-bones.

I guess that's better than being called "turd nugget"

Not that I'm not going to try this - it's just too interesting (and simple) to not at leat try - but starting a 6:00pm steak dinner at around 3:00pm is a LOT different that I was used to 10 years ago.

Between the dry-brining and dry-aging, we're taking longer and longer to make great cuts of meat even better. I understood it with brisket, ribs and even flank steak, I just never thought I'd see it with rib-eyes...

But I'll do it, I have the time!! Woot!

Well yesterday I was out with wife and getting groceries found some Chuckeye in Festival Foods. Only three left so was not a selection. It was 6.99 lbs and each steak was slightly larger than half a lbs. I salted them down with some sea salt and they will go on the grill this Sunday evening.

I will hold each and every one of you touting this cut responsible if it fails

Rib eye from Firebird's last night. They may be chain, but they have really good steaks and wings.

Oh no the math totally works out -

The average weight of beef cattle depending on the type ranges around 1000 to 1050 lbs at 24 months old. So for argument sake we'll use the average of 1025 pounds.

A gallon weighs ~ 8 pounds. Based on the claims of water consumption to 1 pound of beef at 2,000 per day x 8 lbs = 16,000 pounds intaken daily just in water, not even getting into their food consumption.

So it's totally feasible that this would be possible if cows were essentially bovine dialysis machines and constantly drinking and pissing for a majority of the day. A herd of cattle would drown in their collective piss ponds if ever they went grazing on the low plain...

Whoever puts this info out there to dissuade people from eating meat does a disservice, and looks like a fool.

I do my part for water conservation with my bourbon by always ordering it neat.

Anyone wanna look up a resource that is completely wasted google how ethanol is made. The amount of crop to product yielded is INSANE

I ****ing hate that that shit is subsidized to make it economically viable and forced to be put in our gas.

[Just Passin' By]

Just got back from the grocer. Ribeyes were on sale at $5.99/lb.

[GloryDayz]

Dry brining under way...

Edit... I had these ribeyes special cut at 1.5 inches, and specifically had them cut it from the Delmonico side...

[GloryDayz]

For those wondering about the cost difference between ribeye and chuckeye, while I was at the store I snapped these for you to ponder...
