Is skirt steak a regular offering at your Costco? I don't recall seeing it at ours. That is such a nice meat marinated - very flavorful

It is at mine and I buy it a lot. And it is outside skirt which is the better cut.

Yes. They call it "flap meat steak." It doesn't have to be marinated. Not sure why, but their's is tender - probably because it's the outside cut? But, regardless, I agree, skirt has a great flavor.

It's " fraldinha" at Brazillian churrascarias, and my favorite.

I was at Costco yesterday so not sure when I will go again & hopefully remember to check the price but I remember that it was very reasonable. Its a big package of course so i divide it up & freeze in small bags. I think boneless rib eyes are around $16.99 lb. Grocery store specials are often cheaper than Costco.

I paid $13.99 lb. last week. But, that's what I went there for, so I was going to pay whatever. And yeah, the packages are up to 3 lb. plus, so it adds up.

Ouch. Yeah, crazy prices (after conversion)

I also portion meat out when I get home. Not my favourite thing, but kinda necessary.

My dinner after the drive to Lexington - takeout from local chain Malones (Veuve Rose was well chilled as per usual traveling in my Yeti Roadster during the 6.5 hour road trip . Again this is the lovely thing about Homewood Suites and similar, you can make takeout in a nice relaxing meal
