Nice score! I personally don't shop at places where I have to buy a
whole rib roast to get a good price. I have been known to buy a
standing rib roast and cut it into steaks at home. This is why I prefer
the bone-in variety, rather than having the bones cut off and tied back
on. I used the ribs as a cutting guide. You get the ribeye, the strip
and some nice meaty bones for roasting.

I'm not familiar with KC strip. I bought a NY strip steak the last time
I was shopping for beef. I like a good steak with a baked potato from
time to time. Can't say the price was all that great but sometimes I
like to treat myself.

Lately I've been buying chuck eye steaks (aka delmonico) which are a cut
off the rib and are just as tender as ribeyes but cost a lot less. I
had a hard time finding them at the grocery store for many years. No
doubt the price will go up now that I've been buying them. LOL

Any sirloin I've ever bought was tough and required marinating or long
braising. Good thing you got new choppers!
