You know… I’ve preferred ribeyes for most of my life. In fact, when making a simply prepared steak I almost never use anything other than ribeye, rib cap, or filet / filet tail. (Filet obviously isn’t nearly as good, but it is a lot less caloric.)  But the past few days I’ve had this strange craving specifically for a strip steak — I literally haven’t had one in years. So I went to Costco and got a package. Wow. They really are special, too. The flavors seem deeper toned than on a ribeye and it was delicious. I will go back to alternating between ribeyes and strips, I think.

NB: Served with very good 2020 Pegau. Very yummy. Should be killer in 8-9+ years.

I think it's best to vary what you buy and cook.  A ribeye can be delicious, but they are very rich and fatty.  A filet is lean and healthier, with great texture but not as much taste.  NY strips are almost in the middle - leaner than a ribeye, but with good texture and flavor.

What's nice is that Costco usually carries all three, in both Choice and Prime.
