Costco ribeye roast cut into steaks?
Posted on 4/7/25 at 9:12 pm

Never done this before. But can I buy a ribeye roast from Costco and just cut it into steaks and freeze them? Seems like a cost effective way to keep ribeyes on hand.
Or is freezing them not worth it?

I do it regularly. Cut steaks from roast and vacuum seal them. Never had an issue thawing them out and cooking them.

The precut ones still too big for you or something?

One thing to note...At Costco, the cut steaks are blade tenderized for some dumb reason. Won't have this problem if buy the subprimal and cut into steaks yourself.

The butcher at Costco will cut them for you. Just tell him how thick you want them. He will re-wrap in the same package.

I do this all the time with mainly 2 cuts of meat------the N.Y. Strip and the Ribeye. I will buy the large primal when they go on sale and trim and cut them into steaks, vacuum seal and store in the freezer until needed.
Any fat is usually rendered down to use as tallow and kept in quart Mason jars in my fridge until needed.

Sure. You can cut the roast into steaks and then freeze them

Buy a large chuck roast and slice it, cheaper per pound, nearly ribeye eye quality

I was actually looking at ordering online but will see what they have in stock next time I go. I went last night and I guess the way the ribeye roast was packaged made it seem like it got insanely smooshed and would not cut into well shaped steaks.

They will cut them, but you won’t get the price per lb of the whole ribeye. You will have the pay the price for individual steaks.

You sure about that? That doesn't sound right.

I have tried multiple times at the Costco in Chattanooga and Huntsville and that’s always what I’m told.

Not true at least at my store

I asked a couple of years ago if they would cut them for me at the Baton Rouge Costco and they would not.

tried my first chuck eye a few weeks back. it was actually pretty solid. very similar to a ribeye just slightly less tender. definitely good value for steaks on a budget.

It's really not hard to do at home. It helps if your knives are sharp and you are consistent in the thickness of the steaks. You can buy the large cuts already boneless and only have to deal with the fat cap to trim up.
But if you get a chunk that is not boneless, then there's your beef stock beginnings and you put it all to use. Fat rendered down for tallow and bones for stock.

IDK why the down votes. The chuck end of the ribeye is the best part of the ribeye and the ribeye side of the chuck roll makes damn good stakes. Buy the roll, cut steaks until it looks like the meat needs to be stew meat.
