Cooked up a couple Target ribeyes I picked up for 15$ a pound since I was tight on options. Pleasantly surprised with how they tasted, safe to say I’d do it again. Heard targets steaks are blade tenderized so I cooked them to around medium for safety reasons. The last picture is my gf’s scraps after she “trimmed the fat”… at least the pup will be eating good this week.

Rule #1 never trim the fat on a ribeye that’s where the flavor is!
That’s my wife. I make her a filet and she’s happier than ever
So, never buying a ribeye for the girlfriend ever again right? My wife’s the same way, so she gets filet mignon when I’m cooking steaks. No fat, no wasted steak.
Just get her some Dino nuggets next time.
i think you mean EX girlfriend…
Dump her
This is why I buy my wife and daughter strips, and myself a ribeye. I’m one of the crazy people that like cooking what my guests enjoy, and not putting my own bias on them.
I figured out the best solution when I’m making steak for me and my woman. I get a 24+ ounce porterhouse, I take the strip and she takes the filet. Everyone wins. Save the ribeye for guys night
My wife is the same, this just means I get the good parts from her steak too.
So she ate a total of 2 bites?
Wait… she trimmed the fat… and then added butter? Remove the natural animal fat and then add processed animal fat. Surely you jest, sir?
I’m not *as* bad as this, but I’m pretty similar. I hate having to chew through fat and I’m not a fan of the flavor. So I only cook the leaner steaks like tenderloin and sirloin.
So, no more steaks for her, right? RIGHT?!
You need to make your girl a filet bud.
serious question, am i supposed to eat all of those fatty parts of the ribeye? i also trim them pretty aggressively. its ok for you to just eat it all?
Make her a filet or sirloin next time.
My wife takes the fat off of my plate. Different worlds we live in.
Pour one out for the “fat” that was left on the plate. That would take me well past mildly infuriated.
At least you ain’t married. Breaking up is a lot cheaper than a divorce /s
You shouldn’t serve her ribeye
Look what they did to my boy
Don’t forget about hanger steaks and skirt steaks! Far better choices than a sirloin.
Sirloin from now on for her ig
My ex wife would trim the steak away from fat instead of the fat from the steak. Meant more for me though bc there was half a steak left on her plate.
Gimme the fat babe, I love it
A hate crime ☹️
10/10
Make fried rice with her “leavings” !
Question for people who don’t like fat (or spouses of people who don’t like fat): do you prefer cooking it with the fat then trimming or vice versa? Why? I know that for people like me who like fat, it’s obvious that we leave it on because fat = flavour but I assume fat haters don’t have the same view.
The fat’s the best part.
I make my wife a filet. Butterflied. Well.
I don’t say shit about it. I don’t snicker. I don’t make a face. I don’t let out a king, exasperated sigh. I don’t roll my eyes. I make her a perfect fuckin’ well done steak that even I’d enjoy if someone gave it to me.
I’m not eating that. But the happier she is with her steak…the more often I get to eat it.
Cut off the fat with a 1 inch tolerance on the cut.
Reminds me of Grandmas Boy, “if we pay extra can we have the fat and grease?”
Bro. I can treat you better
EAT IT! or send it to me and I’LL EAT IT!
Obligatory Vito Corleone meme
This is worst than leaving meat on the chicken bone ☹️
“Pass me your plate, babe”.
“The Lady will be having the burger tonite, James, cook to medium, and I will be having the ribeye, cooked properly.”
I thought my SO didn’t like fat, did she have 2 bites?
