Yeah, some feel that way, but sometimes the cooking process can fix that. Doesn't hurt to try other cuts too. Whatever works. I just prefer to stick with ruminant meats because they're most nutritious. 

I just feel like I may have bought some not-so-great ribeyes.

So, you do it in the oven, THEN sear it in the skillet? Interesting. 

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean about the purchasing process, but I season with salt/pepper and either grill it or do reverse sear:

- oven @ ~300⁰ for 30-45 min
- put butter on skillet first, THEN set to high heat
- once butter starts to caramelize, throw the steak on it for ~1 min each side
- done

I buy a whole ribeye 12-15# and cut into 2” thick steaks (about 2# each).
Salt each side with coarse salt.
Sear each side about 3 minutes, usually still red/raw in the middle.

What's the longest period you've gone 'meat only'?

What's your ribeye purchasing and cooking process? I'm not having a lot of luck with mine.
