Well sometimes it's don't fuck it up by undercooking it
Probably. Or else your store was basically giving it away.
I think it was half way through Biden's term when the country was still reeling from Covid; then the supply chain issues hit and we had peak inflation of 9% that year. I think that was the first time I ever paid over $100 for a chunk of beef. Now that craziness has become normalized, and I guess I'm coming to an uneasy acceptance of it. Between the rising cost of living and my levelized retirement income, there will come an intersection that forces me to change my standard of living, and not for the better. I may be forced into drinking box wine by budget instead of choice. Sorry for the thread drift, but I've always been able to eat whatever I want, and it unnerves me to think that may change. I must be thinking this way because I went to Costco yesterday and it cost me over $300 for some NY steak, pork chops, ham, and odds and ends, and no wine!
My daughter and family have been raising cattle since 2004, sale price has not even kept up with inflation, maybe a 10% increase overall. What have meat prices at the store done? There are four corporations controlling 90% of the market as to control of the packing/slaughter houses.
If you change your standard of living, you will be joining my world.
Where is the all the Beef coming from?
Sorry, I’m coming to this conversation a little late. In the food industry they have what is called a No Stamp Prime Rib.This saves you some money and you still get a good product. No stamp means that it’s never been graded by the USDA. This reduces cost and you don’t have to worry, because all prime rib is of high-quality and putting a stamp on it is redundant. Every restaurant and this includes big hotels with huge banquet facilities and chef schools, use these no stamp prime ribs. So head to the butcher shop and ask for a no stamp and save some money.

This is a partial truth! No stamp/no roll exists, and it is significantly cheaper than graded beef. However, it is NEVER prime rib. No roll is generally beef from excess heifers from beef operations. It is generally super lean but decently tender.
The claim about restaurants and hotels all using this is definitely not true. Some likely do, but a guy who runs those big banquet hotels, we pay for the beef. Now what most establishments will do is buy choice and market "prime rib" but no roll? Pass.

Try using beef tallow as opposed to olive oil.
I have beef tallow (I usually use it for Yorkshire pudding)…I’m going to give it a try
Ok, just passing on what was my experience in the food industry way back when. Only product we used..
It would be interesting to know more about this. Traipsing through the cobwebs of my memory, I recall that former president Reagan, in his effort to reduce government regulation, significantly reduced the number of USDA inspectors. My recollection is that only a small percentage of beef in this country is actually ever seen by a USDA inspector. If that were the case, it seems like most beef has "no stamp." Or maybe it is "self inspected" and graded by the slaughterhouse. If I were ambitious enough I'd do a deep dive. But I'm not.
All beef is inspected by USDA, it costs extra for the grading and so some smaller processors skip that.
Because grading costs extra, not all beef gets a quality shield. Lower-quality beef or beef destined for ground meat products often bypasses grading entirely, though it is still 100% inspected for safety.

With the addition of some crushed garlic in the coating, I do something very similar. Takes patience but is almost foolproof.
Simply love Yorkshire Pudding!
Haraghs used to fly us once a year to Loughlin, Nevada. We would go upstream to the River Side casino for the all you could eat prime rib dinner and a 1st run movie for under $20. A person would walk around the restaurant with a cart of prime ribs that were cooked from rare to well done and cut you all you want. Seconds and thirds too. No doggie bags. A salad , potato, dessert bar topped out the meal. The only drawback was that you had a set time to watch the movie
Costco carries Beef Tallow here. Maybe there, too.
Strangely enough, it shows up frequently in our Dollar General Store for $1.50 per jar.
