You suck at cooking, Episode 1
Ok, as most of my long time readers know, I am a total steak addict. Steak has always been my favorite food, and my favorite cut of steak is the Ribeye.
Previously, the only place I could get a USDA Prime Ribeye was from Stoney River, the most awesome steakhouse in Atlanta. Actually, in recent years, they have stopped advertising that they serve only USDA Prime beef, which means that we should defer to Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Sadly, none of these steakhouses show their prices. By visiting a industry trade site, I did find this recipe for a steakhouse in Atlanta that only serves USDA Prime. Since I have never been there, I cannot vouch for the quality. But at least they show their prices online. However, using my incredibly awesome Kindle, I asked what the average price per pound for a prepared USDA Prime Ribeye steak is. From my research, it is about $30.54. We’ll see what the Kindle researchers say. Recently, though, my local Costco featured USDA Prime Bone-In Ribeye steaks for only $8.99/lb.
Let’s compare. This is a crappy picture of the USDA Prime Bone-In Ribeye I am about to prepare:
I actually chose this picture because it shows that this steak is, hands down, the most well marbled steak I have ever prepared.
The steak was prepared and cooked using Alton Brown’s techniques for ribeye steak as demonstrated in the Good Eats pilot episode “Steak your claim“.
Bottom line is that the AB approved, home prepared Ribeye was by far the most delicious steak I have ever enjoyed.
Tomorrow’s blog will discuss the details of this test, as well as what I did to make it more enjoyable.
