Ribeye Cap Steak

[LakeErieSMKR]

I was at Costco last week and seen these in the meat cooler. I've heard of the cut before but never seen them in the store. They looked to good to pass up(and they were). I’ve never cooked them before so I seasoned one of them with just coarse salt and pepper. Cooked it up in the cast-iron pan out in the garage and took it to 124. It came out just a little bit rare in the center than I like, but it was still awesome. I don’t think I got much carryover cooking in the meat because it’s rolled and tied and not a solid piece of meat. It was still the best steak I’ve ever cooked at home.

If that was available near me? I'd be in debt stocking up!

I'm with you there. I only bought one of about 12 packs. Probably won't see them again.

That's the best part of a ribeye in my opinion . You got an outstanding crust on that steak .
That's just awesome .

it’s rolled and tied and not a solid piece of meat.

Yup . They take that outer strip / cap off the big end and roll it up .

We were just at a upper end steak house , and I saw they were selling ribeye cap .
I got a ribeye ($65.00 for a 16 oz. ) that came with no cap !! I'm laughing now , but wasn't then .

Best cut ever IMHO.

And looks like you nailed it!

Nice cook, I love rib cap steaks.... a local steak seafood restaurant has one on the menu and it is a bomb!

I have cooked ton of these over the years, As you have noticed they have a very large amount of marbling and that additional fat insulates the center and reduces carry over cooking. It actually cooks very similar to a A5 Wagyu..... Next time get the ideal sear and then put it on a rack in house oven for 5 -7 mins at 375 then rest outside the oven for 7-10. It will bring the center right to a perfect Mid Rare to Mid. This cut can be a bit past Mid Rare due to the fat content....ie it helps render it a bit better!
