Who on earth came up with the idea of “thin-cut ribeye steaks”? Seriously, what is this nonsense? I just ordered standard ribeye steaks, cut to 1 inch like I expect, but the shopper brought me the “thin-cut” version instead.
They’re basically overcooked by the time you get a nice sear on them. You can’t butter baste, and if you let them rest for even a second, they turn into shoe leather by the time you cut into them.
It seems completely ridiculous for Costco to offer these. I honestly can’t understand what they would be used for.
EDIT: I keep getting downvoted and people are suggesting hotpot or Philly cheesesteaks: the steaks were only 1/4-inch thick. That’s too thin for those dishes, but not thick enough to cook properly. I think Zesty hit the nail on the head—it’s just a way for Costco to boost profit margins and sell to people who might not know better.
On a positive note, Instacart recognized the issue and kindly refunded my $80 since what I received didn’t match the website description. So now I have a bunch of ribeye steaks for free! I’ll figure out something to do with them. 🤷♂️
