I had no intention on buying steaks at Costco today until I saw these. Needless to say we're eating Ribeyes tomorrow

    You will enjoy them, but be aware that Costco usually jaccards their sliced steaks - there should be a note on the label (they tenderize them with a bunch of little needles, which is fine, but it potentially exposes the interior of the meat to pathogens so you *shouldn't* cook it rare.  I've never had a problem, but it's something to be aware of).

    Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea. Been buying Costco steaks for probably 10+ years and never had an issue thankfully.

    Nice marbling. As Lou would say, “better to be lucky than good”

    Good looking ribeye marbling, hoping to see pics of your cook.
    Personally, I wish Costco did not blade tenderize their steaks. Not so much a food safety concern here, more so that all those holes allow the liquid fat to escape.  No proof that is a thing, just observation.

    It is great when stuff like this happens.  We may not intend to buy FOOD on a Costco run, but I always have to wander over and see what they have labeled as "prime."  And sometimes things hop into the cart and nobody is the wiser until dinner time.

    Costco gets some amazing meat!  Even though they jaccard them, I cool them like all my other steaks .  They are usually top tier!  I figure if it was a real pathogen concern Costco wouldn’t do it.  They don’t cut corners.
