Costco’s Ribeye Steaks: A Gourmet Experience at a Budget Price

I am starting a series to take a deeper dive into the different cuts of steaks that you can get at Costco.

I hope everyone’s Monday is off to a fantastic start. I am starting a new series of newsletter that will take a deeper look at the cuts of steak that are available to you at Costco. You could call this the “Season Premiere”!

And we are kicking it off with a crowd favorite - the Ribeye Steak!!!!

The Ribeyes pictured here are tomahawk style Ribeye steaks that I found at Costco many years ago during a traveling meat show. They were so beautiful I had to take a picture and have been using that picture of years and years!

The types of Ribeye you can find at Costco include. I listed the last price I saw on each one. These prices may vary.

Boneless ($13.29/lb)
Bone-In
Prime ($18.29/lb)
Thin Sliced ($13.29/lb)
Whole ($12.99/lb)

I rated Costco as being the best value for a Ribeye steak at all the stores I shop at for steaks.

Boneless is the most common to find. No matter when I have gone I have always spotted them. They are a classic for the grill.

I also like the thin sliced ones. They cook up super quick and are great to use in sandwiches or in something like a homemade pho which my oldest loves to make. They are also good for the air fryer as they cook so fast. So even thought we all love biting into a thick juicy steak, don’t sleep on the thin ones when you can find them.

Be your own butcher and purchase a whole ribeye when you find them. Then you can cut them as you would see fit. I have a vacuum sealer, so if I buy a whole cut, I am going to use it and package the steaks individually that way I can pull out only exactly what I need. A vacuum sealer is one of the most helpful gadgets to have on hand if you are buying meat in bulk at Costco. Let me know I can make some recommendations for vacuum sealers.

Steak and potatoes are a classic combination no doubt! If you are going to go with baked potatoes, I recommend always buying your sour cream at Costco. It’s the best value you are going to find. Depending on where you are in the country look for Daisy or Darigold. Both of these brands are just cultured cream, they don’t add any gums or thickeners or anything you don’t need in your sour cream.

Also did you know you can air fry your Russet potatoes instead of baking them in the oven? I put them in at 400 degrees for about 35-45 minutes depending on how big the potatoes are. Works great and uses less energy than your oven.
