I know I just went back and looked at their advertising. The original ad said 16-18 lbs. which is a huge one, the first round you guys ordered was 14-16 pounds, these newest ones are 12-15 pounds. I realize these vary from animal to animal, just hoping they aren't lopping off the chuck end of the roast to make weight, that's why I hate ordering sight unseen
Oh well I'll hold my judgement until I receive said package.
Troutman The one we bought from last week said 16-18. I didn't see a 14-16 offered maybe I missed it. But yeah these 12-15s are probably the ones leftover from sectioning roasts off for sale.
OK ordered, thanks again for the heads up. Here is what I normally buy from Costco, the price has gone through the roof. And to top it off it's only choice (although high grade choice).
012Rastelli USDA Choice Black Angus Prime Rib Roast, 12 lbs
It is choice grade but choice like CAB. Regardless of the misnomer I buy 2-3 of these a year. I dry age them and cut a dozen steaks. I did one for the Spring Texas Meatup, no one complained lol. Pricing has gotten too high, that’s why I’m excited about the CF deal, quality meat at a reasonable price point.
Troutman yeah any special deal on meat, and especially beef for this camper, is great thing nowadays regardless of grade. This is a really good price and Creekstone has never let me down.
I’ve had great choice grade rib roasts. I’ve had disappointing Wagyu rib roasts. Choose wisely. It helps tremendously to be able to see and pick the one you’re getting. That being said, I’ve ordered three whole primal from Creekstone, two rib roasts and one strip roast, and all of them have been superior, among the best I’ve ever purchased. Like Huskee , they’ve never let me down.
We had 2 of their cowboy steaks this weekend. I smoked one on the Silverbac and did the other one on my Genesis. Hands down some of the best steaks I’ve ever made. So I had to jump on this deal. Super pumped. Thanks!
I never did it before either. Not sure if I did it correctly but I removed the strip of hard white fat that ran along the outside edge. I "skinned" it meaning I got as close to the meat as I could without removing to much meat. Then there was a narrow band of fatty meat I cut off and cooked as steak and eggs. I left the normal thin layer of fat surrounding the steak. I cut into steaks and kept a piece as a roast.
Old Glory I trimmed all that fat off the outside of the meat. I don’t know if that’s right, it probably doesn’t matter. I figured no one usually eats it, so might as well get rid of it.
Mosca I think it will be fine. I left the thin layer fat around the edge of the steaks because most of that will render out during cooking. The big hunk of fat thick around as a silver dollar on the outside edge of the pointed end is what I removed.
About Me
My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.
My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.
I got the bigger one last week, $230 for 16-18 pounds. I cut it into 1.5-2" steaks but kept about a 7 pound roast. I trimmed not quite four pounds off, and was left with 17 total pounds of meat. So the 18 pound piece of meat I paid for was really 21 pounds before trimming, which means it was $10.95 per pound untrimmed and $13.53 trimmed. Hope these also come bigger than advertised.
Mine was 18 pounds untrimmed. I cut 10 steaks 1.5 to 2 inches each and kept a 4 pound roast. First time I ever cut up a giant piece of meat like that. I am going to try to make tallow from the fat.

I bit! And was able to use the coupon. Thank you Yohawk so using 13.5# as the average weight, it brings the roast down to $14/#. I’ll take that price any day!
