Got some the other night and sous vide them. Actually didn't end up finishing it all so I refrigerated one and used the sous vide method to reheat it again the next day and it was perfect!

Went to Largo, MD Costco and picked up a pack. Turned to my right and they had big Prime briskets for $3.29. 18-23 lbs. DAMNIT no room in freezer. Really thick fat cap but so what.

How did it turn out? I've never done it that way.

Costco recently started selling this premium cut of steak. I try to buy it whenever I see it. Today it was $16.99/ lb which is a bargain. It has the butter rich beef flavor of the ribeye and the tender texture of a tenderloin. So best of both. If you haven't tried it, just buy it. You will not find better steak.

it' Awesome

I haven't seen this at either of the two North Jersey Costco's I frequent. Sigh.

meh. still rare.

poor man's sous vide try #2:
- plastic ziplock bag and boiling water
- after water boil, left heat on to simmer for 5min
- then turned off heat and left it for 10more min
- came out a nice medium

BUT tasteless, even tho I put in spices (pepper, garlic, cilantro, crushed pepper) in the bag.
the juices produced while cooking washed it off the meat.
even tho I dipped the meat in the juices b4 each bite, it still was tasteless.

next time will not season b4 the sous vid.
will only season after.

Why are you ruining the meat so bad. Just reverse sear and call it a day.

133 degrees???

I know it's hard to believe but you can get tired of eating nice cut of beef the same way with the same spices. Sometimes, I use Dale's Steak Seasoning as marinade. I also use other marinades as well like using Italian dressings to marinate flank and skirt steaks. I also cook steaks plain with freshly ground pepper and sea salt and then eat it with wasabi or chimichurri sauce. As they say, variety is the spice of life.


bulgogi is marinated meat. Galbi can be non-marinated or marinated.

This weekend Costco near me was selling Bulgogi. I bought a thing of it when I got ribeye caps. I personally thought the Bulgogi was too sweet but the womenfolk liked it.

Make sure you have a thermometer and keep the water at 135 or so if you're going to do that (don't melt the bag either ). Some people have successfully preheated water and then stabilized it in a crock pot. Might be a better option.

Me- just a cast iron pan, room temp steak, high-heat oil, coarse salt, pepper, butter, thyme, and 8 minutes are all I need

I love Bulgogi!
where in Costco did you find it?

melted the bag.
I clipped the edge to the pot, as per sous vid articles.

guess the articles assumed water temp = ~140 degrees and not boiling

Hey, if eating plastic is good enough for most fish on the planet, you can eat some melted bag. Eating fish does the same thing anyway.

it's in the premade section along with the seasoned pork ribs.

In the Costco I go to, it was right next to the meat. They were in tin bottoms with a clear plastic lid on it.

no Bulgogi at my local Costco (northern va).

for my Costco, it was flank steak in a lime cilantro sauce that was in the tin bottoms w/clear plastic lid

so... joined Costco today on a Groupon deal a d picked up a pack of ribeye cap.

Foe those red-blooded Americans grilling this stuff (not you Commie hipsters who boil meat), I assume you keep it wrapped while grilling and just cook like a normal steak?

I unroll it and cook it similar to how I cook flank steak. Because this cut is so tender and fatty, I like to cook it more to medium.

Grilled the ribeye cap tonight with some coffee rub liberally applied. Initially tried cooking it tied up but the heat was not penetrating into the center and it would have easily taken an hour. Cut the twine off and finished it off as suggested above. Delicious and decadent.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

So delicious looking.

 

[ponyo]

I had the same problem trying to cook it direct while wrapped and the center and the inside not cooking. By cutting the twine and separating, you get the benefit of being able to sear all sides of the smaller pieces.

my local Costco now has Bulgogi!
$6/lb with a sprinkle of raw onions, ~3.25lbs tin bottom containers in the fresh made section, next to the spareribs

thinly sliced, easy to cook on skillet
delicious
