Prime Ribeyes

My local grocery store started carrying some prime grade ribeye steaks. Normally, I'd reserve buying prime for special occasions due to the premium price but I found a couple of nice looking steaks at reduced prices (50% and 30% off) so I didn't hesitate to pick them up.
The ribeyes were cooked on two different days on the Mini (reverse sear cooks): Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

And some pics before inhaling the steaks: Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Some tasty ribeyes! Wish I could eat prime grade all the time.

    The willpower you show by taking the time to shoot a pic instead of eating is unmatched!

    That is some fine looking beef!  I will be on the lookout...so far I can only find prime at butchers (very expensive) and Costco (limited selection...still pretty expensive!). 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Plating my wife's dish before taking pics of my plate allows me the time to have willpower. :-*

    Nice looking steaks. My neighbor and I just bought a whole sub primal ribeye prime from Costco. We're going to cut it up into some nice thick steaks and split them up between us.

    Some nice looking steaks there! I usually only purchase Prime (or Wagyu from work) when the marbling isn't something I see often. 

    Actually found some extraordinary Prime ribeyes from Costco last weekend. For $10/steak, I can afford to eat them more often. They were cut up in 12oz portions - perfect size in my opinion. 


    Which grocery store is this? I'm extra curious.

    @FLbobecu - the steaks were from Safeway.
