Costco prime

I’m not a Costco member so I don’t know how things work there as in sales across stores. I occasionally go with a daughter and I have been pleased with their prime but they don’t usually have a great selection or maybe it’s picked over. She just called me and said they just put out a whole lot of prime and many things she hasn’t seen before. I told her thanks but I’ve got a freezer full. Then she said that’s funny looking, it’s rolled up and called a cap steak. Bingo. Love that girl. They had 3 packages - 6 steaks. Now I have 6. Never cooked one before.

    It’s very rich. A little goes a long way.

    I’ve had it before, just never seen available so I’ve never cooked one before. The first place I had it was at the French Laundry. The only thing served that night that I thought was noteworthy.

    Picked up a 4 pack of these from Costco on Friday and we had them that night and Sunday night, delicious.  

    Did a reverse sear both times, king crab legs from Costco with butter and lemon from our tree was a nice touch too.

    I have cooked the Costco caps both in the rolled state and unrolled.  Either way it's a real treat.  I prefer unrolled to get more crust area but to each his own.  Great score.  Enjoy. FWIW-

    I believe Friday they roll out a separate butchers display and have a butcher on the floor. 2 if they do seafood too. That's when they do a lot of good looking Prime beef. Might be a seasonal thing because they aren't always there.
    The only thing I don't like is Costco blade tenderizes every beef that isn't in the cryovac plastic. You don't need to blade tenderize Prime beef, Choice either.

    I’ve only had it unrolled and that is probably the way I would like to go. Any advice? Sous vide?

    I'd like to try one of those.  Anyone got a photo of the unrolled version?

    @Terrebandit  Here it is in a rare (meaning in a very uncommon) state. Actually there are two whole cap steaks which were never rolled to begin with. If you are there and they cut one off the roast, they will give it to you whole, but you have to ask for it this way. 


    I like to cut them to size and go as hot and fast as you can go.


    As stated above, they are super rich. And a little does go a long way, but is fantastic to the last bite.
