Norman is a former resident of Omaha, Neb., and said he used to live a few miles from the plant where the meats are packaged. Norman said he has always been satisfied with the product and has never had a complaint with the company.
Brandon Harkleroad of Abilene is also a repeat customer. He said the steaks in the 20 rib eyes for $20 promotion are perfect breakfast steaks.
"I came in Thursday and purchased a case of variety steaks, and we grilled them out that night," Harkleroad said. "Everything was great."
Evidently people with lower standards love them.

Perfect breakfast steaks he grilled in the evening.
That's about $5/lb. Not much cheaper than your supermarket sales. USDA choice ribeye goes on sale for $6/lb every month or two.
omg; even @ 4oz a steak they are loaded with 22% water. I just threw up in my mouth.

so basically $5/lb after accounting for water.
for that same $5/lb, kroger is selling bone in select ribeyes, and HEB is selling choice strip steak.
I wonder if the cut of meat actually qualifies as "ribeye."
Technically it does. I work in this industry, what they are doing is buying "utility" grade meat, (usually old heffers that are producing very low amounts of milk), injecting it with a tenderizing agent along with water then freezing it almost solid and slicing it on a deli-style slicer or a band-saw with a boneless blade installed. The marinade is trying to mask the fact that the meat will naturally taste like crap, don't bother with the $1 steak, it's not worth it.
The pic may be too blurry to really tell, but

And tenderizers? No thanks. Chemicals that soften muscle should not be consumed.
