Some of you probably saw my post last night at "Show Us What You’re Making For The Super Bowl". I had a beautiful ribeye I cooked which turned out to be extremely tough and chewy. I didn’t even finish but half of it and threw the other half away. I don’t remember ever doing that before. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong and blamed it on the cow. Well, keen eyed glitchy commented about the almost total lack of marbling in the pics I posted. I then went back and looked at the picture I took of the steaks while they were still in the package. We all know how important marbling is to a steak, but I’ve never been disappointed before from Costco, and this time, I just picked them out by size and cost. I didn’t really pay attention to the marbling. I just kinda forgot to check. Take a look at the ribeyes, left side package, in my picture. Guess which one of the three I cooked last night? Shouldn’t be hard to guess.
I’m posting this to maybe help someone in the future. I will certainly pay more attention myself, when picking out meat next time. I’m not saying the lack of marbling was 100% of my problem, but I’m sure it had at least something to do with it.
