I wonder if you need to be a regular customer to get good meat? I only go there once or twice a year and have always been disappointed. Which is why I don't go back. Do you ask for something special?

Spence, that looks like Providencia. My old stomping ground. I miss it too.
Costco meat is just as good or better than most, including so called Sonora beef. Just sear your steaks on both sides a minute or two to seal in the juices (fresh meat does have a high water content) and then continue grilling until the desired doneness.
If you dry age a few days (or more) in the fridge the shrinkage will occur and add flavor before the grilling.

Reverse Sear
As for cooking steaks, check out the reverse sear process on the Amazing Ribs web site. Produces a great juicy steak when done right.
This method is used by the most successful chefs.

For those who believe that searing "seals in the juices."

Kind of a pro and con answer to the benefit of searing but I have always felt that it helps. Never did a scientific test of moisture content of the steak, doing it one way or the other, so will have to accept their opinion.
It was a kind of Donald Trump type of "suggestion"....you know, both ways. LOL

Searing is a good thing, it just doesn't "seal in the juices."

It adds a slight sweet caramel taste and is a great addition to Filet/New York/ Any good steak. Does less for cheaper cuts in my opinion which is an opinion. Anybody else notice that???

Yes. Likely due to lower fat content in the cheaper cuts.

Reverse Sear Link
I thought I would post a link to the Amazing Ribs instructions for reverse sear. This also works fine with gas.

Amazing ribs always has good advice. Before I had to give up my smoker, I paid a lot of attention to him. Also, the Virtual Weber Bulletin Board: tvwsb
Re: Input on Gas Grills, please?
You will not find marbling in Filet's nor is there anything that makes a Filet" Choice Aged" as they do not have the fat to age properly (Dry or Wet). I have found that 1 1/2 to 2 inch Filet turn out best when they are seared in a hot iron skillet that has real butter and olive oil well heated, and the Filet is liberally salted and peppered with ground salt and pepper on both sides. The heat is then reduced and the steaks are then cooked to the degree requested by the eaters. Even better and easier than grilling, however the final cooking can be accomplished on the hot grill and using a meat thermometer to determine the preferred state (Rare- Burnt).

Proper aging of the entire carcass ages the tenderloin too. Beef cuts are not aged separately. The back of the carcass has a fat layer. Fat protects the carcass from dehydrating. The amount of fat in the meat itself has nothing to do with aging.

David, don't butchers age primal cuts too?

Yes, but it's rare to find such a butcher. The carcass loses weight during the aging process and they sell by the pound. A good butcher shop is hard to find any longer.
