    First time cooking/eating waygu

    Not too long ago Snake River Farms had a big sale and I bought three 6oz sirloins from then. I chose that cut because to be honest that's what the budget allowed. I cooked them tonight. I don't know what I expected. They cooked up perfectly (I seared and finished in the oven) and had a great crust, but they tasted no more flavorful than a prime steak. Maybe it's the cut. Sirloin is never my first choice. Maybe a waygu ribeye would blow my mind. But waygu sirloin? Mind not blown.

      Sirloin is probably at the bottom of the list for me. Ribeye is my first choice followed by a strip, then a t-bone, and finally a filet. I tend to think of prime rib in a separate category. I also really like flank and skirt but again, that's kind of a different category. And then comes sirloin.

    Yeah, may have been the choice of cut Obi-Dan . I haven't yet had the pleasure of that kind of meat, though.

      I kind of agree. Don't see me purchasing a better cut anytime soon though. If these hadn't been on sale I wouldn't have bought these.

      Was that the 2 for 1 sale they had last year? I went for the prime cap, then decided it was a little too rich for my pocketbook.

      It was the 40% off sale they had last month. I got these for $10 a piece. And don't forget as Pit members we get free shipping, that helps.

    I really love sirloin myself. I am not a huge fan of ribeye. I won't turn one down, obviously! I think a good Angus sirloin has a lot to offer. I also love flatiron steaks. Yum!

      I believe there is a big difference between Waygu and choice briskets. There's not that big a difference between the levels of waygu, in my opinion. I've not cooked enough prime grade to have an opinion.
