I know this may be sacrilege, but when I crave a rib EYE steak, I go to Restaurant Depot and buy a boneless rib roast, Bones have weight and I can't see paying for the inedible. I trim away everything but the actual eye of the roast and cut that into 1.5 to 2" thick steaks. The rest is ground up with brisket, brisket fat, and chuck to make ground beef for burgers on the grill.
I do this rarely as I've really cut back on my meat consumption. I think I go meatless, on average, five days a week. My father ate meat almost every meal and died of a heart condition before turning 60. My older brother is 80, eats meat whenever his wife makes it and has been on cholesterol and blood pressure medication for over 30 years. He and his wife spent three months this past year living with their daughter, her husband and four children. His daughter is a heart surgeon. During those three months, most meal ingredients came from a service that plans menus and portion size. I think it's called Hello Fresh. My brother said most of the meals were without meat; fish and pasta were prevalent. He said his BP and cholesterol numbers plunged, but when they returned home, they went right back to their old diet. His exact words, "I'm 80. I'll eat whatever is on the table." (He's overweight and uses a walker.)
