Was at Costco and I’ve never seen steak packaged this way. What is the reason behind it or it’s intended purpose?

Either someone made a mistake or they are being sold as sandwich steaks. Not worth $50 cut like that. Ask the meat department if they can discount by 20%

Jerky maybe. Not the cut I use, but it’d work.

I asked the butcher, selling for jerky and steak sandwiches. I purchased a pack for jerky, and it was great.

This could be for Korean BBQ (easier to marinate thin cuts) or hot pot (though these look a little thick for hot pot)

That cut is used for pho or Korean BBQ… You also see it used for cheese steak sandwiches and other soups or “fondues” where the meat is cooked in broth (like szechuan hot pot).
It’s really common in Asian supermarkets around the US, but I’ve never seen it at Costco. $11.99 per # is fairly normal. It’s typically priced just like any other cut version of that grade of beef.
Edit: misread price on label

Bulgogi or shabu shabu or hotpot

I assume they want to sell it as sandwich steak. That’s a way too high price per pound though. Should be more like $6.99.
Edit: you people are downvoting me for what sandwich steak is priced at in my area? What the fuck ever.

You can also season and grill them and make great steak tacos

I would use it for bulgogi and/or Shabu Shabu. It’s a little thick for either but still reasonably feasible. Definitely for French Dip.

That looks too thick to be ideal for hot pot, pho, or shabu shabu, and is thicker (and fattier) than I’d prefer for jerky, though it would work.
Great for steak sandwiches or KBBQ, though.

So u can make some beef sandwiches, maybe a beef gyro style sandwich would be fire

Looks like it’s for Pho. Personally I would use this cut for cheesesteaks.

This looks sooooo good! They had similar meat a few months ago, I can’t remember what it was called but it was thin sliced like this and it was sooo good.
