Does this seem like a good deal? $6.99/lb for American wagyu backribs? What’s the catch?
May have to snag a couple if so.

Imperial American? From the American empire? Well… I would buy it for the name alone.

I could be totally wrong but the “catch” is just that they are back ribs. I have no idea if this is a good or bad price I just know back ribs generally aren’t that meaty and not the greatest to bbq.
The rib roast is removed from these and due to the value of that cut they trim as close as possible to the back ribs meaning there is very little meat left on the back ribs. When I’ve cooked these up in the past your pretty much only left with the meat inbetween the bones.
If you’re looking for the ribs you see in BBQ places you would want to search for plate short ribs. Costco usually has the readily available but they can run $60-$100 for a 3 rib section, but they are extremely meaty (1 rib per person)
I would 100% much rather put my $50-$100 towards choice plate short ribs than wagyu back ribs

Really great price if it’s Wagyu. I’m skeptical.
Looks fine, though, if you’re a rib buyer. Terrible value in general, even at the standard $4/lb.
Just to clarify. You get more meat that’s higher quality buying $15/lb ribeye than you do buying $4/lb backribs. Ribs are easier to season and make tender. But at least 75% of the weight isn’t something you eat.

The catch is probably that they’re back ribs. They’re a less well known cut that takes a bit of work to make tender. Either way, pick em up and find out if wagyu ribs are worth it.

Cook like a pot roast to make tender or throw on grill for a 3-4 hours. They will have less meat than a regular beef rib but still very tasty.

You’re about 65% bone, maybe a bit more, so factor that in and call it $20/lb for the meat itself. Figure one pack per about 2 people, maybe 3.
But the bones aren’t worthless. After you’re done, toss in the oven to brown, then cook in a pressure cooker for 3 or 4 hours. Drop pressure, then toss in some carrot, celery, onion, garlic pieces with a few bay leaves, and cook at pressure another hour (you don’t want the veggies going more than about an hour or they get bitter).
