Good Flavor, but lots of fat and some gristle
The roast arrived frozen. I allowed it to thaw some before cutting into individual steaks that I could freeze. There was a very thick covering of fat, about 1/2" in the thickest spot, not at all like the picture which was very lean looking. The description also said it was cut close for less waste. It was not. We cooked the steaks on our gas grill as suggested, sear on both sides and cook on low heat until done. They tasted good. However, when we cut into the steak on one end there was a lot of gristle mixed in with the meat and it was not edible. Next time I am going to try another primal cut. This is my first time purchasing this cut.

I loved the individual strip loin steaks we bought here. They were so tender, like butter.
I did get 7 steaks from this primal strip loin but they were all tough and full of gristle. By the end of the meal, there was a pile of gristle on my plate that I could not eat.
I was so excited to save money cutting my own steaks but with all of the steaks being so tough, we are not likely to try this again.

Great value for great meat
1. Was shocked that my order arrived so fast and frozen solid. That in itself is unusual for summer in South Florida.
2. Semi-thawed the meat overnight in an ice water bath in a cooler. Was a bit surprised that the meats weren't vacuumed sealed, but I was thawing some other items and use them to hold the meat under the ice water.
3. Was able to get 10 1" thick steaks with a 3/4" steak left over making this less than $9.30/steak.
4. The steaks were very well trimmed. Actually, when I have bought this cut from other sources, I usually end up with a few pounds of fat left over for rendering. These were trimmed with much less fat than I usually leave on the meat so no additional trimming was needed.
5. Having read about how lean grass fed meat is I was thrilled to see beautiful marbling. I expect the meat will be very juicy.
6. Since I couldn't grill a decent steak if my life depended on it, they were all vacuumed sealed and will eventually be cooked sous-vide and then seared on the grill. This way I know they will be tender and cooked to perfection. I do believe that 3/4" steak will be lunch.
All in all, thrilled with this order. Will update if this changes.

I just received my first one of these in hopes of dividing into individual steaks. The amount of fat cap is crazy...1/2” a 3/4” of fat that I do not want to pay for. This should be trimmed to 1/4”.

Great taste but very fatty
I've purchased the whole primal beef striploin before and I was very pleased , but my last 2 striploins were fatty. After I cut off a big layer of fat from each piece (and there was still plenty of fat left ) I weighted the meat and from 7.25 lb went down to 6 lb. I Give 3 stars for the taste ...

I like this whole piece. I get so much more out of it. I use the leftover fat to make tallow,I get my steaks and small pieces for stew.

I absolutely love this striploin. I have always tried to find a striploin with a beautiful fat cap and this has it along with intramuscular marbling. I was originally hesitant to purchase at first due to some of the reviews. Now that I can opinion for myself, I suggest you do the same, some people don't not know how to properly enjoy a good steak.
