Wagyu ribeye at Costco B&M?

[JohnS NJ]

Had to fix my tires so headed to Costco’s. Walked around and noticed these bad boys. They were labeled as prime. But it has a lot of marble for prime. Picked up 2 for my bday later this month. Would have got a third tray but that the limit they allow on meats. So used the final on a slab or pork belly.

Thoughts on if it is or isn’t wagyu?

Hey, John, nice find! I seriously doubt they are actually Wagyu, as CostCo would have charged you considerably more per pound if it was. I suppose it's possible that some Wagyu got mixed up somewhere in the meat dept. However, you certainly hit the jackpot on the marbling in that particular cow! Haven't seen any that good in a long time!

there was a considerable difference between these packs and the rest of the prime. I've purchased a lot of prime from Costco and never seen them like this. In either case, I'm just excited/confused as to how I want to cook these bad boys.l

Wow, those do look nice, especially the 2nd (lower priced) pack. Normally, I think Costco gets the 'bottom of the barrel' Prime steaks, but they are still an excellent deal. You'll certainly enjoy those. Were it me, I'd go low and slow, then sear over a screaming hot flame.
