I usually freeze most of the steak I buy because I can't eat very much of it
at a single sitting. The market near me sells excellent USDA prime meats
and I like the boneless ribeye the best. I put them in sandwich size zip
lock bags and squeeze the air out as soon as I get home from the market.
When I thaw them out in warm water, it is hard to tell they have been
frozen.

I once bought some ribeyes online that the seller claimed to be USDA prime.
The LA Times gave this seller a great review. The steaks were garbage.

I suspect that most prepackaged steaks are garbage. I suspect they were
garbage before they were frozen.
