The butcher also had some prime NY strips that had beautiful marbling and they would not have gotten the same treatment. Maybe next time.
My son wanted to try wagyu, but it was ridiculously expensive, so we got prime filet mignon instead. Today we made filet au poivre with Caesar salad. This is probably the best steak I've ever eaten.
