Great news for everyone!!!! Got our monthly ad from Costco with a special holiday section. Just in case anybody has been waiting for the second it goes on sale, Costco has their 12lb. A5 grade Wagyu beef roast ribeye on sale this month. it is only $999 shipped to your door. That is a one time $280 discount for the 12lb. Roast with a regular price of $1,279.

So how many should I order for everyone for the Tundras.com white Santa gift giveaway?

 

Not at this time. But go right ahead and please post pics.

BTW, @Pinay can help you manage this group buy.

 

I saw that last night!!!! Don't burn that steak

 

Yeah, this thread is being deleted in.....4.....3.....2.....

 

Oh, did you want to buy me some Wagyu for Xmas??

 

im good too steep for my blood lol

 

Only 2 grand lol

 

Dibs on that big roast!

 

If I get that, I would only cook one steak and cut it in 5 for the entire family. Make that $$ last.

 

I’ll buy if you cook it lol

 

Yeah, I can do some good cookin on that!

 

Don’t tempt me haha

 

That shit looks nasty. Way to much fat in it. I'd have to burn the hell out of it to melt away the fat.

 

I wonder how many people it would take to split the cost and the meat? I would prob end up with one burger patty lol

 

Time for a tundras.com bbq!! I’d just end up with the bill haha

 

Someone would throw you a bone!

 

A well marbled piece keeps it juicy and doesn’t dry it out

 

Gee thanks lol

 

I can get half a cow for that price.

 

Yup, Fat = Flavor

You can get great marbled steaks at Costco for a buck or two less than $2k. This is for hoidy toidies who want to tell people they eat Wagyu, not backyard BBQers. That said, the most expensive piece of meat I ever bought from was from Costco, $35-40 a piece Tomahawk steaks....best steak I ever had

But you really don't need $$$ meat or a $$$ BBQ to be make good grub.

No shipping to Canada, so I'm out

 

Na, still don't like fat. If the steak ends up too dry, well that's what A1 is for.

 

Dollar Tree

 

The ultimate first world problem

Sorry sir we are sold out of 1,000 dollar roasts


Also- whats the return policy on these? Incase it tastes awful

 

So I would never order that for myself for about 999 reasons however, that isn’t that bad of a price. SRF Gold Ribeye is just under $90 a pound.
I tried a lower grade of Wagyu from a local New Seasons and was not impressed.
The guys I work with want to go in on a black level brisket for around $300-350 and I won’t lie I’m a bit nervous. That’s an expensive ass piece of meat.

 

Have you had Wagyu before? Do you want to again? I think there are meats out there that give themselves the Wagyu label but aren’t the real deal from Japan. If you can get a meat that you’ve had and you know is good and worth the price, at least you know you will enjoy it.

 

Yeah I tried it once before...assuming you are correct. I too kinda wondered if it was really Wagyu. There is a lot of fraud with labeling in food.
Our local Traeger store is now a Snake River Farms retailer. They decided to bring in Black label only as it’s said to not have the gamey taste that lower grades have. I am waiting for a demo before I pull the trigger on some for just us or the guys at work to decide that’s what we want for that weeks bbq.

There is also a farm in Eastern Oregon that raises them. I think it’s called Two Sisters Ranch. I have been eyeing them as well for a while but haven’t bought anything yet.

 

Yep, good ole Iowa corn fed ribeyes much better.

 

I had Kobe numerous times while in Japan during my 4+ years there, but I'll still take an American corn fed black baldy ribeye. IE...black baldy = 1/2 Hereford and 1/2 Angus. White face, black body and commonly sold as pure Angus. Black baldy steaks are much better. IMHO

 

In Japan , Kobe steers are fed a high grain w/ alfalfa diet and sake and hand massaged. Saw it done first hand. Wagyu beef...meh....too much fat but tasty.
