Diff between a ribeye verse strip loin
« Reply #-1 on: May 23, 2013, 12:16:44 PM »
I am getting ready to dry age some beef. The kit I received was for a Ribeye/Strip loin.

The Ribeye is about two bucks more a pound but I am thinking is is the better way to go?

This will come in a vac sealed bag.

Hope the butcher weighs in :(

I was told the ribeye has more fat, I would think that would be better. I know RickB really likes his.

Yes do the ribeye. Just got the drybag bags for ribeye yesterday. Going to start another one next week. Your going to love it! A side note I was looking for a rib roast in the freezer last night for this weekend and found another bag of those dryaged ribeyes. I hate a chest freezer. Going to order a upright very soon. Going to cook a small ribeye tonight! Kroger has their choice ribeyes whole or half on sale this week for 6.99 lb.  dont know if you have kroger up north 8)

Amen. Hate chest freezers. They upset my abilities to organize. But sounds like you found a treasure!

Sorry to be late to the party....been a trying day. One death of a friend, not a good prognosis from another one, had to deal with Bank of America and Comcast.....such is life! Much rather be discussing meat!!  :)

Yes, the strip loin is rather lean, it's an extension of the sirloin muscle all the way to the rib muscle (they do share characteristics) and the rib eye is fatter. Both are good candidates for dry aging, but if I had my druthers, I'd go with the rib eye.

I had my druthers, I'd go with the Strip.

Hopefully you can relax a bit this weekend

Deb loves the ribeyes, too.  She was just waitin' for that sale at Kroger today.  Went in and stocked up...had 'em sliced free...brought 'em home and vacuum-sealed.  BTW - she left one in the fridge and told me to grill it tomorrow.  "Gladly, my sweet..."
