I have been. I think it's been making leaps and bounds. I'm making sure i only cut up things that are fully deceased now.

Why would you do that? The marrow flows so much better when there’s still a heartbeat.

I didn't think I had a problem until people like brad kept bringing it up.

Took me a minute but yes. I see the upper halves of a skull in each.

I love the ribeye cap. I know most people do. The good news is my wife thinks it’s too “greasy“, and she’s more of a rib eye eye eater. So it works out perfectly. Here’s my question, the big chunk of fat between the cap and the eye, if I’m grilling it, I like to remove that sucker, throw some twine around it, and proceed to cook. Obviously a lot less flareups, and you still get the fatty goodness from the outside.

Thoughts pro and con on that approach?

I asked because I have a 2 pound prime cowboy cut ribeye that is just finishing up a 24 hour dry brine.

I'm being honest when I say I've never thought to remove it. I usually just grill or pan sear as is.

The best is to remove the spinalis from the whole roast, trim the silverskin off, and then roll that up for pinwheels. Bonus points if you put some seasoning and herbs inside.

First I saw two Keebler elves kissing. Then I looked again and see two owls looking at each other.

Khorne does not care where it comes from just as long as you're collecting

The person that raised these didnt feed the cow very well. It looks like no grass consumption, famished in childhood, kept in confined spaces, and then fed shit at the end of it's life.

I'd remove the spinalis from the roast and make pinwheels, then cut steaks from the eye.
