    Mother's Day 2013 - Prime Ribeye for two. Costco sells Prime beef with a passion now - price for a sub primal is $8.49 lb. The number one store for prime sales is the Silverdale, Washington store which also carries prime Tri-Tip. I dry age via the UMAi Dry Bag for 45 days. And of course cook all on the BGE!

    The Alpharetta Georgia costco stocks prime rib eyes, filets, strips, and sirloins. They don't always have all 4 but they usually do.

    I go to the one on the Tollway and Park in Plano. They always have great cuts of meat. Some of the prettiest filets I have ever grilled came from there.

    I can't seem to "attach a file" to show you a picture, but I regularly buy the Costco "sub-primal" boneless prime grade ribeye. It is usually around 17lbs and costs around $180. ($11/lb). I then dry age it before trimming and cutting into steaks. I get about 12 steaks out of it, (cost now $15/steak at around 16oz per steak). I was using the dry age bags, but am now just putting them naked in the fridge around 30 to 45 days. +1 on the recommendation on Costco's Filet's. If you can get them near you, I recommend you try them.

    The Costco in Frisco (Tollway and Eldorado) also has prime most of the time.

    Do you freeze any of the 12 steaks or fire them off after you cut them?
    Medium, and XL eggs in Galloway NJ.  Just outside of Atlantic City.

    For me when I process I do vacuum seal each steak and label. What I wasn't clear on in my previous was that I cut the entire sub-primal into 3" steaks - Prime ribeye for Two. This way, for the two of us, we can have rime rib anytime with the appropriate leftovers without having to cook a 6-7# piece. I can't post photos either so if you want to see the process from start to finish go to the Dry Bag Forum http://www.drybagsteak.com/forum/recent.
