By the way, today’s cut was even nicer than yesterday’s:

View attachment 1568918

I had them cut it 2.5 inches thick. Came out to about $90 for two pounds. Is that a horrible price or okay? So jaded dealing with NYC food costs.

looks wonderful. Im in the same area and price seems about right. Out of curiosity, is it dry aged?

You’re right in that you undercook a bit prior to the final sear, but the process if consistent. For arguments sake, you cook 10 degrees less than final temp and then sear, but you then do this every time.

I’d have to experiment and iterate to get it right, but then that would be given a particular set of variables. Not sure I’d ever be comfortable switching it up should I want to do a different cut or use someone else’s oven, stove, etc.

We don't really care about price here as we're not trying to impress anyone. Check that. We like to tell each other about getting things on sale.

Hey man - your meat, your choice. But i think the trade offs are evident. Just a matter of personal preference.

Idk about NYC prices but $90 for 2lbs is a lot in Houston. Even if you get top quality stuff, the price would be like half that here.

The more you pay the better it tastes. TRUTH.

Not dry-aged. They had dry-aged American wagyu ribeye for $65 per pound, but sold-out of aged NY strip.

Also, fwiw, i like the love for the strip. I prefer it to the ribeye but feel i am in the minrority.

Historically, I was a ribeye guy myself. But then I realized the parts I really love are the rind and tip. The center is often boring or even a chore to get through. In contrast, the whole NY strip is nice.

Plus, for family sharing, NY strip splits into slices more evenly.

This is where you pick a fight with me over a phantom issue, right? I wasn’t bragging about the price. Quite the opposite, actually. I asked whether it seemed reasonable for what I got. I’m willing to pay some premium for the convenience of using one my neighborhood butchers, but maybe not a multiple!

For wagyu as well?

The fight was already picked when you entered this thread under the guise of asking advice and then immediately dismissed all advice. It's ******* rote.

Right, I’m the one who starts threads asking for advice about Eames lounge chairs and hundreds of posts later winds up picking a Costco knock-off because “it’s just as good.” Or who spends time in a car thread making fun of car enthusiasm.

For the record, you started this here, not me. I came here to talk about steak. I showed some pictures. I learned some stuff. If you find issue with that, ****-off.

Broseph, it's here for all to read. You asked for advice about your $45 a pound steak and immediately starting arguing with all the advice given you in good faith. As I said, it's rote.
