Whatever happened to the old school ribeye....

[Hogdaddy]

My wife bought these two dry aged ribeyes at whole foods yesterday. They look like new york strips but with marbling. Remember when rib eyes came with the spinalis steak attached. That band of goodness on the outer edge of the steak. When did it become fashionable to separate the spinalis. God I miss old school rib eyes, does anyone still sell them whole?

I thought the exact same thing the last two times I ordered a ribeye at Longhorns. Just not the same cut. I mentioned to the waitress that it was good, but I thought I had been served a strip by mistake. I’m about ready to give up on store bought steaks and just do whole tenderloins on the smoker for the week.

Yeah, I've just resorted to cutting my own and vac sealing them.

When I got a 7 lb standing rib roast at Publix the other day, I had the butcher cut it into 2 inch steaks. He cut the spinalis off and I took it home vacuum sealed it to eat later.

Yea ^^^ that was what I was thinking, ask the butcher to cut what you want.

as the cut travels up the pirmal, the meat changes qualities....you can actually get a "rib eye" that is also a "NY strip" ...BUT they are all good!!!
love the marbling!!!

I must say they were quite tasty along with some fried potato's.

Buy an 1/2 or an entire cow. Tell the butcher exactly how you’d like it.
