Looks delicious DDD. Good job cooking it properly

 

[RRsilver]

When cooking a thick Ribeye steak, I like to run them by the fire and scare them a little bit, already have all the fixins ready on the plate, slide that steak on there and ready to eat!

When I say run by the fire, I mean lay it on the grill on both sides for about 2.5 to 3 minutes.
Perfect!
Baked potato or sweet baked potato lightly buttered, Salad made the way I love it, with fresh lettuce, Tomatoes, and cucumbers, out of my garden, just a little cheese and homemade crotons.
In the old days with a frosty mug filled with beer.
Drink not as important anymore either ice water or tea.

Just the regular Chick-fil-A sauce

So basically BOMB

That looked fantastic Digger.

Way undercooked. I guess some people like it that way. I need to at least have my meat medium to medium well

I really don't care how its cooked, as far as rare, medium rare, medium, done, or well done.

But There's nothing quite like a juicy, perfectly seared steak, full of flavor and so tender you can almost cut it with your fork.
I have found that cooking at higher temperatures for less time gets it just like I like it.

Now that's when cooking it myself at home. When going out to eat, if I can get it just under medium rare it's the best I can hope for.

We buy a young cow local and have it processed ourselves. Usually about twice a year. When we have to buy from grocery store it's never as good or tender.

I bet you save a lot of money buying the whole cow

It's the way to go if you have storage,
It is less expensive but not as much as you would think. Before COVID and especially a few years before, most times there was bargains to be found, but the last 7 or 8 years seems like fluctuation are always on an upward trend.
There is 6 of us that do this, we know a couple of farmers we can sometimes buy from and sometimes we will go have to go to the sale. It's an auction. Sometimes you can broker a deal in the parking lot at the sale and not deal with the crazy sale it's self.
Usually two of us will be ready to buy at the same time and we will split one. If more than two of us is needing we will buy at least two.

Thanks for the insight. Unfortunately I do not really have the storage right now but it may be something to look into for the future. Would a deep freezer / chest be sufficient??

Yes a big one is perfect. If you can find at least one person to 1/2 with you, it makes a huge difference in space.
Like I said we have 6 of us, and usually when ever I'm ready at least one other is ready too, or vise versa. We have been doing this for over 25 years and after you get everything set up and have a routine you will never want to buy beef at the store again.

We used to do that as well. Wife has cut back on red meat consumption so it would take us a year to get through a half a side of beef. We would get a neighbor or family member to jump in and split the costs/beef up after its processed.

You have to be careful if you go this route. There can be a huge difference in what you get from butcher to butcher. Some are a little unethical in how they "cut it up" IMO.

I've been really lucky with the butchers, we had two in the small town I'm from both were honest and did a great job. One retired about 7 years ago and he was closer to my house, but the other guy dose a great job also. We have a couple here where I live now and one plant that will do them, but I still use my hometown guy.

Went to one of our favorite restaurants The Melting Pot last night. Whenever we travel and we are by one we always make it a point to go since a few years ago they shut down the one that was in Vegas
