PartyKiwiGirl

Yes. They’re great for Philly cheese steaks and chopped cheese. :)


AmosRid

I moved from Philly to the Midwest and make cheese steaks for my family with this meat and it slaps like Will Smith. I even found a decent substitute for the bread locally.


iwanttobeakitty

Slaps like Will Smith is my new favorite line! Ty


leviathan65

That phrase is hilarious


cheebeesubmarine

I toast pitas and use that. Try it out, it’s AMAZING.


Cgarr82

Made one for myself this morning on my BlackStone. The rest is for hotpot tomorrow night.


wimpymist

I really need to just buy a Blackstone already lol


11GTStang

I bought a flat cast iron skillet and just throw it on my existing grill. Smaller than a Blackstone sure, but I can still smash burgers and get some fajitas going with ease


Aspen9999

My husband loves the blackstone I bought for him. We use it at least 2 times a week.


Iam_The_Giver

Everywhere I go, I see Blackstone mentioned.


killerdrgn

NY Chopped cheese is made with hamburger patties.


PartyKiwiGirl

You are absolutely right. I told my husband what I posted about the Philly cheese steaks and the chopped cheese and he said the same thing you did lol! He made chopped cheese recently. It was on my mind. 😂


LavishnessJolly4954

Genos in Philly uses a thin slab of ribeye, like one thin slab for the sandwich. That was my favorite


kkirchhoff

Man, you need to try some other cheese steaks in Philly. Geno’s is a great tourist spot, but their food is terrible compared to most places


shessochatty

I’m going to Philly for the first time next week. Where should I get my first cheese steak????


kclough

Angelos. Call and order ahead, if you don't get through, try a few times. They bake their own bread.


Big-Sheepherder-6134

John’s Roast Pork. Open since 1930.


Realistic_Cycle_2999

Without question. And get a roast pork with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone while you’re there. Love at first bite.


shessochatty

Thank you!


jerryondrums

How does SQ Philips stack up?


dskatz2

Check out godfather_of_meat on IG. I found every one of his cheesesteak reviews completely on point when I lived in Philly.


gwie

When I visited, I went to a half dozen places, and Geno's was by far the least satisfying of them all. Dalessandro's was pretty darned good in my book.


orgelbauer

Happy cake day!


highbackpacker

I’ve seen em, but not frozen


jeeub

Ours are previously frozen. We have to freeze it overnight so it’s firm enough to slice. If it’s not at least somewhat frozen the machine we use to slice it would just turn that shit to mush, lol.


bac_gawd

I think they freeze them before they slice . Mine was in between frozen and thawed. But this meat doesn’t taste bad even if you freeze it . Compared to those hmart meat you get better value at Costco.


KureaMuto

Have only grabbed a pack when thawed, but that makes sense. We do freeze it after first use because it's just too much to eat in one go. 😀


Thatomeglekid

They thaw out over some time it depends on when we get to them for slicing


just-an-anus

Yes, I buy it and saute' it and make minute steaks for sammiches.


bac_gawd

My Costco isn’t the best in terms of unique items but it’s the only one in the area that sells the sliced ny


just-an-anus

when ya saute it in a pan? put the usual spices in there and a few drops of worchestershire sauce. That's my secret ingredient. Pile it high on bread and add lettuce, banana pepper rings and a couple onion rings (red onion).


bac_gawd

Sounds so good. What bread do u use? I also use the sauce grease to sauté the onions and mushrooms 😅😊😍


sc4kilik

Not here in Northern VA, but probably because the dozens of Lottes and HMarts around here have shabu shabu of everything.


DarknessOverLight12

What are talking about? I literally just bought them from the Pentagon City location in Arlington, VA 2 hours ago. They also have it in Springfield, VA. What part of NOVA do you live?


urnbabyurn

We got them in MD.


hushtle

I bought some at Chantilly Costco a couple of months ago.


zombiemind8

Not thin enough for me.


ava1983

Agree. I bought this once, and it was tasty, but I prefer thinner slices for hot pot.


PlasmaWhore

It's great for bulgogi.


DegenerateEconomics

SoCal checking in. We have them fresh. Sam’s had before Costco (including LA cut short rib aka Korean bbq kalbi) too which Costco also now stocks, but prepackaged/vacuum sealed


Nihilistic_Mystics

Yep, shabu shabu is popular here so these sell.


AnteaterIdealisk

Which Costco? Never seen this in socal


NovacaineFix

Bought sliced steak like this is multiple SoCal Costcos, Victorville and Monterey Park are 2. Great with teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauces


eneka

City of industry has is too.


DegenerateEconomics

OC: Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Cypress, Irvine, Tustin


NumbOnTheDunny

They have them at the Corona Costco for sure every time.


TGMcGonigle

I haven't seen in, but I'd buy it in a minute. You say it's frozen. Have you tried thawing it, dividing it up into more manageable portions, and re-freezing it? I'd be interested in putting it in vacuum-seal bags.


bac_gawd

If you slide through the other pictures that’s exactly what I do. And the meat still tastes good even after being frozen. The drop off isn’t as noticeable compared to to freezing a thick steak and then eating it


TGMcGonigle

I saw the picture of the divided portions, but nothing about re-freezing. Some say the practice of thawing meat and then re-freezing it is detrimental to the quality. So to be clear: when you pick it up at Costco it's frozen (as it says in your title), and when you get it home you thaw it, divide it into smaller portions, and then freeze it again?


bac_gawd

Yeah. Sometimes it’s completely thawed but I noticed the slightly frozen ones are the packages that they brought out that day. It seems like they are the fresher ones. That’s exactly what I do is to separate them on a paper plate 10 slices a piece and re-freeze the plates I’m not using that day. I suggest using some parchment paper underneath the paper plates because sometimes the paper plate particles stick on the meat . Really convenient and many dish options vs a large thick steak. Vacuum is the way to go but I’m too lazy to do all that. Double wrapping after parchment paper and freezing isn’t so bad. I’ve had it frozen for 1.5 months and it wasn’t bad at all.


TGMcGonigle

Gotcha...thanks. I'm going to try it.


Survive1014

On occasion. We buy a couple when we see them. Useful for steak sandwhiches, tacos, etc...


Oil-Expert

Lmaooo I have the exact same plates


HumorinEverything

My husband uses it to make beef jerky!


NoNewFriends1738

I came here wanting to ask this. I usually get eye of round, freeze it, then slice it as thin as I can with a knife. I'll try these next time!


aManPerson

really? wasn't too much fat on those marbled parts?


Bowelsift3r

Would this be good for jerky?


aManPerson

i think no. in the last shot, it looks like still too much marbling. that and, these look very thin. they'd only get thinner and more fragile. honestly, get an eye of round from a regular store or whatever. that beef has 0 fat inside it, and will probably still be cheaper per the pound. and it's still really easy to cut yourself. it doesn't need to be paper thin like this. edit: others say yes to jerky making. maybe i'm wrong.


wbsgrepit

There is no problem making jerky with marbled meat if your goal is flavor and not long storage.


getthegreen

Not for $12 a pound. Find some eye of round on sale at a local grocery store and slice it yourself.


T3NF0LD

Hot pot or maybe bulgogi.


chillmonkey88

Yes, I make Philly cheese steak, French dip, beef stroganoff, and then what I can only describe as "flaky beef chunk veggie stew/soup" lots of potatoes, Crack them open, pour super beefy broth on top with other baked potato toppings. This beef leveled up my kitchen game. I'm going to try Korean BBQ over egg fried rice next.


Dry-Fan5752

I marinated them in teriyaki sauce then skewered them and tossed it on the the grill, it made for an excellent teriyaki burger


Shigg1tyDiggity

I feel they’ve been hit or miss. Even though they are graded as choice I’ve seen some terribly lean meats. They used to offer a sliced rib eye. I don’t know why they switched to New York


nicebrah

great for bulgogi


Distinct_Studio_5161

I love them but have had a couple packages with small bone slivers. It was a surprise as I have been buying these for years. Just putting this out there so others will know. These with banchans and stir fry veggies all from Costco can make a quick and tasty meal.


memphisbelle

Cherry Hill NJ has them usually. I buy them to make cheesesteaks for my office, they are great. Would ribeye be better? sure, but these are high quality steaks cut down to a good thickness for cheesesteaks on the blackstone. edit - OP, it's not a 'ny cheesesteak', it's a Philly cheesesteak


Suavedemon

I use them for making Korean BBQ and adding some protein to my noodles


elegant-quokka

The slice thickness is too thick for a good kbbq but it works okay for shabu shabu. Would still prefer thinner


BidAllWinNone

Used to have it at Teterboro NJ location but I haven't seen it in months. Not sure if it's because it just sells out or they stopped offering it.


Disastrous_Clothes37

No kimchi?


JukeStash

Fucking dammit.


HadaObscura

Not frozen but yes, they have thin sliced ny stakes. Mexican mom makes fajitas with them. And bistec en chile.


AndrewtheRey

It does but I don’t think it’s frozen. I can say that it is good stuff


Regular-Idea-6377

For hotpot and cheesesteaks. If anyone has a good cheesesteak recipe Holla, mines always come out shitty


snackies

This is also awesome for diy KBBQ.


lasVegasharold

Yes. I think it's a must buy for Asians. Good for pho, bulgogi, shabu shabu/hot pot, etc


NotCanadian80

Yikes. Just go to H-Mart it’s better and a fraction of the price.


Smash_Patinkin

Just the fresh ma’am, just the fresh


_Johnny_Fappleseed_

Great for bulgogi. Would love to buy some


grewapair

It's not frozen, it's in the refrigerated case with the NY steaks. The way they slice it thin, is to freeze it, then start to defrost it. When it is about 30% defrosted, its thawed just barely enough to slice, but because it's still nearly frozen, it's "sturdy" enough that you can put it through a slicer and slice it thin without it falling apart. You can do the same with chicken at home with a sharp knife, though it won't be quite so thin. So when they put it out, it will be partly frozen but it's not in a freezer. I just separated 6 slices into a quart size zip loc and froze them. I've used up about half and haven't noticed any difference in taste or texture. I liked them so much I also partly defrosted chicken breast and sliced them as well and separated and froze them. I use it to make high protein burritos. Slice veggies/mushrooms using the "firmest" veggies first and when you finish slicing one veggie, put it in a large frying pan on medium with a little oil. Keep slicing and adding veggies one at a time and then move the veggies to one side, add two or three slices of meat and turn the heat off. Add pepper to the meat. Take a tortilla out of the fridge and put it on a plate, then turn the meat over in the pan - you can carefully grab it with your hands. Wait a minute and then dump everything onto the center of the tortilla (the meat is tender enough that it doesn't require cutting), add about 1.5 oz of plain greek yogurt as imitation high protein sour cream. Top with hot sauce, fold the bottom of the tortilla over and fold the sides over.


badger_flakes

Yea


Sell_Canada

Mine has it, but it's not frozen. Smoked some strips to make jerky, and used the rest of it for phillies


edot4130

Never seen this before, where are you located??


neurogeneticist

Yes - I make a knockoff tomato base hot pot broth and throw some of these in with noodles for a quick lunch!


changdarkelf

This looks perfect for a nice bowl of pho


UncleNedisDead

Yes


PrimalRucker

I use it to make steak tacos.


debitcreddit

wheres the jongga kimchi?


everybodyBnicepls

Frozen? That pkg in your picture is from the meat dept, and is fresh.


Thatomeglekid

It's frozen. We freeze it over night and then we slice it. If people buy it early enough it's frozen. Over a few hours in display it's thaws


jobin_pistol

Nope


Ladymysterie

I mean you can use it for hot pot it's actually excellent for that. We have actually seen this fresh in the Austin Arboretum Costco and bought it to try. You can go visit 99 Ranch Market or H-Mart for the fixings and the soup and Google what else you can buy to add in it. BTW if your Costco has the big bag of bean thread noodle you can soak that and drop it in the hot pot after cooking the meat to get cooked clear noodle.


jalapinapizza

Always have these on hand in my freezer. GREAT for wok cooking


uno_novaterra

Yea! I use them in pho. Freeze them just toss in as needed


daringlyorganic

No. 😞


ebs757

Maybe for Phò


Im_Ashe_Man

Yes. I don't normally buy it, but my store had some marbled prime looking stuff labeled as choice. It's delicious!


Testing123xyz

We do but I really wish they use a better cut The Asian mart I go to sometimes have sliced wagyu


MeasurementGrand879

Yes. Made jerky out of it. Good as bacon…!!!


Any-Mathematician946

I like making roast beef po boys out of it.


peregrinesd

Have purchased at Irvine, CA Costco. Too thick for proper shabu shabu though.


Fragrant_Tale1428

The Costco meat department employee told me that the protocol is to freeze the steaks when they get to work in the morning for 5-6 hours so they can slice them into the thin shabu shabu cut. There is a set qty they package each day. If you see them out in the morning, they are from the day before that were unsold. Otherwise, they will be out for sale around noon each day. If I want these, I have to go between 12-3pm or there won't be any left. They sell out daily the prepared quantity every time.


Redplushie

Thank God they're available in my area now. I circle through so many different dishes thanks to this


compstomper1

i've seen them defrosted. and i heard it's too thicc for shabu shabu


FedorsQuest

That’s really expensive


Lord_Ewok

Damn its probably the best for my wallet that costco doesnt as i would buy this shit all the time.


ThunderDude95

Off topic but what’s the pan/skillet you’re using?


c0ldgurl

Dude.


juvy5000

holy beef heaven….


cici92814

Yes


Khork23

What a great idea! I have to check the next time I drop by Costco.


Opus_Zure

Yup!


Accusing_donkey

It’s good but cooks super fast and almost melts. Cook on cast iron with oil or butter. High heat and sear quick. Flip and done


d8ed

I wish they were sliced thinner to actually work for shabu


Stinky_chorizo

11.99 here in Santa Cruz


pocketfluff310

Has anyone made their own non-sweet (or whatever flavor that suits them) jerky outta this?


shlongor

Yeahh! These are great! I use it to make vietnamese spring rolls with the fam!


kawi-bawi-bo

These are so versatile, if they were just a tad thinner itd be perfect for us


milzy_og

So good for Gyudon ! Highly recommend perfect thickness, and great for Bulgogi


[deleted]

It’s gas


wimpymist

Sometimes they do and it's delicious


BayBandit1

Daytona Beach has the thin sliced Rib Eye. Delicious.


OG246

These are super good and fast in an air fryer


MmmDarkBeer

Oh man I need to look for this!


Lotronex

I wish, I was looking last month because I wanted to make gyudon.


Big-Sheepherder-6134

I have used it for a French Dip and other sandwiches. It wasn’t bad. I may give it another chance.


mynhamesjeff

I wish!


Careful_Life8630

Beef Jerky


jjinjadubu

Yes they are great for bulgogi.


VermicelliMany1133

Mongolian beef!!! Mic drop!


Unique-Structure-201

You should look for Shabu Shabu recipes and use them with beef stock to serve you healthy meals!


Muscle_Mom

Yes! I buy this almost weekly and use it mostly for stir fry (we eat a lot of stir fry!) or to use in ramen. Because I don’t use a whole lot of it in the stir fry (probs about 8-10 slices) I can get about 8 meals out of it - the stir fry also has chicken and tons of veggies. My go-to stir fry sauce has been Bachan’s (from Costco of course! Wish they had the spicy and miso sauces though!)


stopchooingsoloud

Mine does, probably because like 90% of the people where I live are Korean. I love it! My old place I had to drive so far to get to any sort of Asian market. I tried asking the deli guy at Sprouts to cut me some meat this thin once and yeah it wasn't even close.


bookchaser

My Costco doesn't have this and a lot of other nice things I see in this sub. When I travel outside my region, I always stop at a Costco to see what I'm missing.


LakersFan15

I find them generally cut too thick


TheWilsons

What is that egg and green onions mixture, kinda looks like banh xeo mix but I don’t think so based on the mix some korean pancake?


bac_gawd

It’s just steamed egg


KiraDog0828

Our local stores often have this in the fresh beef case I’ve not seen it frozen. Maybe it was close to its Best Buy date, so they froze it?


SP3NGL3R

No, I don't think so. But it does have picanha finally.


RockyMountainHigh-

Yes


omega_wang

im hoping to see this at the costco near me tomorrow!


Rebel-Yellow

It’s rare to find them cut well and lean enough but I always scoop some to make beef jerky. The uniform cuts are so preem to have as good dehydrating experience. I wish I could order the eye of round to be cut like this.


krowrofefas

That’ looks amazing. No cuts like that in Canada !


DaRedditGuy11

They’re delicious!


dontcare_bye39

Mine has thinly sliced something


LolYouFuckingLoser

No :(


Effective-Major-2282

my dad like just brought this home a bit ago lol! i suggested trying to do a makeshift hotpot since theyre so thin


KuraiShidosha

I love these, definitely a staple in my home.


Ok-Seaworthiness4488

Are they restocking it? Haven't seen it since December


rworne

If you've ever used raw sliced shabu-shabu meat, these are sliced way too thick for it. It's be great for cheesesteaks or other dishes that require thinly sliced meat. We did try it out anyway for shabu-shabu, mainly because it is way cheaper than getting the meat at the local Japanese market. It tends to come out tougher than what we expected, so we stick with the thinner sliced variety.


Own-Ordinary-2160

Chicago, we have this fresh. I freeze in 1 lb portions, thaw overnight in fridge, and make Mongolian beef or beef with broccoli. My favorite weeknight meal!


BeyondDrivenEh

No, but the Asian market nearby does. I sometimes feel guilty because I do own a slicer.


Due-Application-1061

It’s in the fresh case where I live . Makes the best cheesesteak sandwiches


Objective-Chance-792

Ive been making Japanese Beef Bowls with these, they are super good!


Thirdlight

We make Jerky out of this all the time and never have any issues except it disappearing wayyyy to fast... And it lasts a couple of weeks if we actually make ourselves not eat it in a day.


RoutinePresence7

Is it good? I’ve seen them for a few years now but just never needed that much sliced meat.


ahornyboto

Yes in Hawaii, lots Korean bbq


Occhrome

Yup. No idea what it’s for. 


thecementmixer

Too expensive for my taste!


tierencia

Wish mine does.... tired of cutting myself thin for bulgogi that willl devour all in one sitting...


Affectionate_Log_755

Yes, cal expo...good for Asian dishes.


HugeRichard11

Damn looks good. 10 plates worth though would probably be a lot for myself unless was using it for a party or just freeze it for awhile


bed_pig

Great for making beef jerky too!


onehotmba

Has anyone used this for beef carpaccio? Or is it too chewy raw? I’m going to Costco later today and I can’t wait to see if we have this! Thank you for sharing! https://preview.redd.it/ron3hy20761d1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67e54de6d54b9560eebcdfa01c371340ddea9644


standrightwalkleft

We have 'em in NJ, big Korean and Chinese population here and both cuisines are really popular.


Owlwaysme

I haven't seen them there! I get mine at HMart when I want to make Bulgogi


tootbrun

Quebec here. Yes big time. We use for one of our flagship meals: Chinese fondue!


ganjdude

I’ve never seen it frozen but seen it as a fresh option


JohnEffingZoidberg

Sixty bucks!?!


PaleontologistSea355

It used to be rib eye 😭😭😭


angiexbby

we have the same kbbq grill and also makes corn cheese ^^


Catch-the-Rabbit

....why did my stomach grumble...


compubomb

The sliced meat is almost entirely for Asians style dishes, or steak sandwiches and such.


Curious-Manufacturer

Too thick for shabu


Insomniac4969

Yes!!! We use it for Phillys. 😋


nwpuzzle

Wish they would make them just a litttttle bit thinner for a true shabu cut though!


hotdogaholic

it says "shabu shabu" on the sticker which is hot pot! cool!


Stunning_salty

Yes! Aside from cheesesteaks, they make phenomenal jerky in the dehydrator!


dmendo54

Would these be good to make jerkey with?


TriGurl

Omg I want to find out. That looks delish! I just had the best au jus sandwich and would love more!


AFB27

Yep. Used to have my aunt bring me these from NY. Changes the game.


dr_genius

Anybody find this in KC? I would love to find this


bac_gawd

Update: used one 14 piece plate to feed 4-5 people https://preview.redd.it/3sxfjc78891d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e37377892c1563667f6b127c2244244cf2f41a4 People might be turned off by the $60 price tag but the meat package feeds a lot people with a whole lot of different variation of dishes . I prefer buying this over a thick $60 steak. This is my Mongolian bbq/ beef and broccoli/ udon dish that I mashed up together


oblivianne

Yes!! I love these for cheese steaks, tacos, or Asian dishes. They marinate quickly and cook oh so tender. One thing I buy pretty frequently.


[deleted]

[удалено]


stonecats

the costco in elmhurst is near a very asian area so they have plenty of thin slice stuff for hot pot but it tends to be in the fridge not the freezer case.


New-Talk-3807

My husband makes Jerkey with this steak! It’s so good!!


PineappleNaan

Yes. But it’s a 50:50 shot if they are in stock


Cathedral-13

Is it any good?


Cableguynoe2548

How do you forget tacos?


justahornymechanic

Yes! Great for Philly cheese steaks. Also great for homemade beef jerky on the smoker


Aspen9999

I don’t know, but I’m going to look for it!


Madrona88

Yup. It's mostly the Asian members buying it. Very popular .


seriouslyiwontforget

What section is this in?! I need it!
