Last week, my family and I were road tripping from Texas to Minnesota and many of our stops were at Costco for cheaper fuel and to check out what they had that our local stores in the Austin, TX area didn't have. Part of this was so I could pick up a bottle of Kirkland Bourbon since the Texas Costco's only have attached 3rd party liquor stores and not Costco owned liquor stores...the other part was the search for the ever elusive Ribeye Cap Steak Rolls that I've seen people post on various Facebook groups.
I found them! Minneapolis, MN had tons of these in stock when I stopped by there a couple of times (on the way there and on the way back) and I picked up a pack to grill at the cabin we rented near Duluth.
Wow...these things were AMAZING. I did not have a pellet grill, so I busted out the old school kettle grill that was available at the cabin and fired up some charcoal briquettes.
I was an idiot and decided to not try and get some back to TX in my small cooler since we'd be traveling for 3 more days as we headed south and have now regretted it ever since. I was able to find the ribeye cap steaks at Wild Fork Foods, but at almost $40 / lb vs the $19 at Costco and for that price point, we're pushing the budget for my family of 4 since this would be $80 worth of meat for one meal.
I talked to the Costco butcher at my local Costco and he said they haven't had them in 2-3 years and I told him about finding them in MN and he was shocked. I did take the time to submit a request at Costco for them to be brought back, at least periodically. If I ever spot these again, I'll be stocking up. If you haven't had them, take the opportunity whenever you see them! They're worth it.
Sadly, this photo is the only photo I got of the dinner that night when they were about 1/2 way through cooking. When they were done, they looked like a nicely browned hamburger patty from the outside, but inside were a perfect medium rare and oh so tender and delicious.
