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!

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

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
