I use either a cast iron skillet or my Henkel Granitium skillet (cannot recommend these highly enough). Just open is fine, and it's already hot from the sear.

I have a big original (like 30+years old) Calphalon thick aluminum skillet that I use for this purpose.

No cast iron unfortunately.

Very tasty and tender. Used a light coating of oil in the pan and smeared mayo on them.

We're fans.

We had the aged New York Strip steaks tonight. We did a head to head competition with our favorite local beef supplier.

First, the Wild Fork steaks were half the price of the local steaks. Wow.

$8.00/lb vs 16.50/lb

They were seasoned and prepared exactly the same in the same pan.
Salt, Pepper, touch of onion and garlic, Mayo seared and baked at 375 for 10-12 minutes.

They were both incredible pieces of meat. I might give a slightly more tender award to the local steak but it was so close that I kept going back to the fact, that the Wild Fork steaks were half the price.

We also prepared the Wild Fork Steak Fries in a shallow pan of olive oil. Wow. Incredible flavor from a spud. We didn't even salt them.

Wild Fork is here to stay for us.

I just placed another order. This time just some chicken, veal loin chops and some sauces, which I have found to be very good. If this keeps up I will probably cough up the $30.

I'm about to place another order. Which ones did you get, these?

The prime is more expensive...

[Mik]

I doubt the prime is worth double the price.

I don't think it is worth 2x the price.

@George-K You should buy both and do a side by side taste test.

How did I not see this thread before?

[Mik]

Do I need to belabor the obvious?

It's sort of like, you know, computers and stereos. You pay 100% more and get 10% more performance. For some, that matters, amirite?

Prime is just the amount of fat. I have seldom found the price difference was worth it. In my experience the source has always mattered more.

Brining their Pork Rib Roast for tonight. Will report back.

Excellent flavor and tenderness. Brined it for a few hours then seared and roasted it with salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Served with leftover turkey gravy from Thanksgiving. Delicious with duck fat roasted potatoes and asparagus.
