Costco choice sirloin?

[stillgriller]

I picked up some sirloin from Costco yesterday @ 7.99/lb, as theirs always looks really good and I haven't cooked up sirloin on charcoal yet. I'll be cooking some up today over Rockwood lump in the SnS. I forgot to take a pic of the whole package, but it's similar to this:

Simple seasoning, just coarse S&P.

Got a good crust ging with a direct sear, no need for an indirect follow up. I overshot the internal temp by 5-10 degrees trying to get the crust, but they still came out medium.
So, was it worth trying? You bet! At less than 1/4 of the cost per pound of the last filets we got from Costco, these sirloin steaks were lean, tender, and juicy. Sirloin has a distinct beefy flavor, and side by side with a filet, a I'm 100% sure I would know which was which. With the right amount of crust, however, it compliments this flavor perfectly.

Looks good. Costco Choice cuts are nearly as good as Prime. With a 48 hour dry age, they are great! And saves you some $$$.

I thought about doing that. And then, I realized, I couldn't wait that long
