Of course they did.🙂 Just bought a strip loin from them using Mosca ‘s code and while I may have saved a few bucks waiting for the sale I did note that the one I received recently was on the high end of the weight range while all I’ve bought when on sale are usually at the low end of the weight range. Still a good deal no matter when you buy.

[Huskee]

I bought one and saved the extra 24% in your honor

[Donw]

Huskee Yep, I bet you did!
I remember my reply in a previous post about this. I’m still sticking with my H.L. Mencken view of the world where good things do not happen. Most will be tickled with the extra 24% discount on top of a sale item. All I see is someone being fired for not blocking a code that allows an extra 24% off a sale item, and thinking he deserved it.🙂

[DaveD]

These seem to be on sale more often than they're on regular price... I may have to get one!

[Jerod Broussard]

They don't make ribeyes, that's why.

[Steve B]

Actually they haven’t had the strip loins on sale for quite a while. Been watching. I bought one for Christmas at full price.

[Huskee]

While they do have sales every few months on full loins, it has been maybe a year, give or take, since strip loins were on sale. far more affordable than rib loins and IMO just as good.

The discount code that Mosca posted works for this sale, I just bought two 12-14 lb ribeye roasts and a strip loin. Discount code knocked $95.00 off in addition to the sale price for a total savings of $241.00. My plan is to dry age all three for steaks.

[Huskee]

I was going to post this, thanks Draznnl !

Also of note the Prime rib loins are on sale as well, $275 down from $315, only 13%. A short time ago they went on sale like this but after a bit the sale dropped another 30 to $245...impossible to tell if that will happen again but I'm holding out for that.

Interesting: I was charged $44.00 in sales tax when I placed my order yesterday. Creekstone just refunded the sales tax so my order is even less that I thought. I'm pretty happy with this order although it isn't as big of a deal as the last time I ordered ( $235.00 for 18+ lb ribeye roasts will probably never happen again).

[Steve B]

I actually like their strip loins much better than the rib roasts. At least the ones I’ve gotten so far.

[DaveD]

Just ordered one of these. They ship fresh, not frozen, so this is the perfect time of year to order it - definitely won't get too hot in transit! I'll use about half of it to cut into steaks, and leave the rest for a roast. It's an excellent deal, less than half the cost per pound than if one ordered strip steaks.

[Troutman]

Huskee DaveD You can do as you say with UMai Dry Aging bags.I do strip loins and rib primals all the time with them.

[DaveD]

Troutman Too late... see my most recent post below, I cut up some steaks and vac sealed everything up right after I took delivery. Will try the wet aging thing with something else down the line.

[Huskee]

Troutman At this current time I have little interest in dry aging. I might try a steak or two eventually. I do wet age though, it helps improve tenderness w/o a flavor change.

[Bob K]

Just ordered. Can confirm the code Mosca posted - NYSAVINGS - works on top of the sale, thanks guys!

[DaveD]

Wait, what? Discount code from Mosca? Where did that get posted?? Too late, I already placed my order... wish I'd realized that.

[58limited]

Well, I guess you just have to order again. Tell your wife how much money you saved - she'll understand. Code: NYSAVINGS

[DaveD]

Here's the cut I received from Creekstone today, shipped fresh, but the packaging held temp and the cut was just over 35F, about 2C. 11.5lb/5.2kg total, and it worked out to just under $14/lb all up. Pretty good price for Prime strip, delivered to my door.





I cut 8 steaks from it weighing a bit less than 1lb/450g (a couple of them only about 0.75lb/340g each) along with one 11oz/310g steak that my lovely bride will use to make her signature beef stroganoff one of these days. The remaining 3.8lb/1.7kg I left as a roast. There was a fairly thick fat cap, but I left it alone for now, I can deal with those when I prep 'em to cook in due course.






I am totally holdin' on strips!

[58limited]

My order arrived today in good shape.

Weights are:

ribeye roast 15.5 lbs

strip loin #1 14.6 lbs
strip loin #2 13.3 lbs

$12.40/lb for all.

The only thing I'm mad about is I intended to order two ribeye roasts and one strip loin but I did the opposite. Alcohol wasn't involved - I swear ( I shouldn't; its a bad habit). Well, alcohol or not I can't have that so I ordered another ribeye roast tonight.

[Steve B]

Huskee I was gonna mention you about my almost misadventure last night. 😁
Anywho. Both of mine weighed 14-1/2lbs almost exact.

[STEbbq]

Huskee what did your wife say?

[Huskee]

"What, so you don't want me to throw it away? " then laughed. STEbbq

[bmillin]

Sweet! Thanks everyone, a 12-14 Strip on the way for $152 shipped.

[58limited]

Dry aging begins, shooting for 50-60 days. After removing the packaging and draining the purge the weights are now:

Strip loin 1 - 14.1 lbs
Strip loin 2 - 12.7 lbs
ribeye primal - 15.3 lbs

The ribeye primal had less purge than the strip loins.

The other ribeye primal that I ordered won't arrive until Wednesday.

My 9-11 pounder is coming tomorrow! I won't be able to use it all immediately - I'm going to cut some steaks right away but there will still be a lot left so I think I'll have to vac-seal the rest.

Is it a crime to freeze it, given that it's shipped fresh? How long should it stay good for if I just leave it sealed in the fridge?

[DaveD]

Absolutely NOT a crime! If you can vac seal, those babies will stay good for years. Even tightly wrapping in Saran wrap and loading into a ziploc you squeeze as much air out of as possible will keep fine for many months in the freezer.

[Mosca]

DaveD is correct. I’ve thawed vac-sealed steaks that were 3 years old, and they were excellent.

[jtw]

Great to hear, thanks!
