So Ralph's has a sale on bone-in USDA Choice ribeye roasts for $4.88/lb. I can't pass that up! I bought about a six-pounder.
But I'm conflicted on how to prepare it...
My wife doesn't like medium rare, and doesn't generally like ribeye due to the high fat content. And even if she did like it, 6# of meat is too much for our family, as our oldest child (6yo) isn't exactly going to make much of a dent in it.
So I can go one of two ways:
Thoughts? Am I missing any good things to do with this?
And should I go get another? :rockin:

So I can go one of two ways:
- Freeze it and save it for a dinner party. I'd probably then smoke it, saving the "end cuts" for the people who don't like medium rare.
- Slice it into individual steaks, vacuum-seal & freeze them, and keep them for myself. Grilled or sous vide, I'll bet I can make some damn fine meat. This could also be used for a dinner party, but won't have the same "presentation value" as a nice big roast.
