Bought a whole boneless beef rib section at Costco yesterday. 14+=20
pounds for about $79. Cut it into 28 steaks tonight. Lightly salted=20
and dipped each one in seasoned oil, and laid them on top of each=20
other in a plastic container. On Thursday, I'll wrap them individually=20
and freeze at -20=B0F. They'll be gone in maybe 3 weeks. Family coming=20
end of next week and a different group the following week.

Wonderful... And the other foods will be good, too. This is farm=20
country and the produce this year is just brilliant. Good rainfall,=20
plenty of sun. Lots of demand so the farmers are doing well.

You may remember my plea for help some weeks back about cooking a whole beef
rib section on a rotisserie we had just bought for the outside grill.
We, too, bought that beef at Costco - about 14 pounds or so for about $78.

Our (lack of) experience was pretty hilarious. At first, the rotisserie
wouldn't turn properly, but finally did after the meat shrank a little.
The hardest thing was controlling the flare-ups - at one point, I ran away
because the whole roast caught fire! All in all, it took about two hours
to cook and other than looking a little black on the outside it tasted fine
and all the guests raved about it, polite as they probably were. I had to
take two aspirin and lie down.....

Anyway, carried away by our success, we bought a second one - same weight
and about the same price. This time, we had it cut into 3/4" steaks and
finished up with 18 or 19. They're going to have to be trimmed a little.
We're having the first two for dinner tonight and plan to let our daughter
carry away some when she visits.

One point is - the price sounds high, but with the current price of steak at
our market (around $11 or $12 a pound for Select grade, vs. Costco's Choice
grade) it's finishing up as a pretty economical purchase.

I wrap them individually, so no paper necessary. Had three of them=20
