Select Bone In Rib Eye

[Elaine W]

Local grocery store has an ad for select bone in rib eyes at $3.99/lb. That's the price of ground chuck. These steaks can't be good grilled, can they?

 

[BEWarre]

only one way to find out. :0)

My local store has that same sale. I'm going to get some. I think they will be fine.

 

[Bob Sample]

Grab a bunch. Hopefully they are cut thick. I got some today for $7.99/lb and that's a deal.

 

[Elaine W]

Talked me into it. (It only took a slight nudge)

Thank you.

$7.99 a lb for Select? That sounds high....I just checked my local store's weekly circular and they have bone in riby eye steaks (Choice) for $5.99 a lb.

They are AAA which is the same as your choice I believe.

Ahhh - for a moment I thought you bought some Select (canadian AA) for $7.99 a lb.

Stop & Shop? Buy any? Good?

Just try it.

I'd marinate them before cooking them

Sacrelige.

Bit of pepper bit of garlic bit of salt.

Marinating in Italian Dressing will make it a bit more tender without changing the flavor of beef.

 

[John Solak]

I grill select cuts all of the time, when the price is right. With steaks and burgers I like simple seasoning S&P.

 

[Bob Sample]

Keep it rare or med-rare and you shouldn't have tenderness issues. Unless it was a steer they couldn't catch way back on the south fourty for ten years.

There is Lowerys meat and grocery over in Buchanan MI that runs whole boneless ribeye roasts @ $3.99lb often.
They will cut them any way you like. I like to cut my own. They are always delicious!

I have always had bad bad luck with Select beef. I stay away from it even if it is cheap just because the meal turns out very, very mediocre and I am cooking them properly I feel. The side dishes end up being the mains in those meals.

My experience as well.

Select beef is a grade below choice if I'm not mistaken. That means there isn't as much fat and marbling though out the meat. I've never cooked select, but it seem like it would be harder to cook without as much fat and marbling. Fat = Flavor.
