Pork Ribeye

I don't remember ever seeing this before in a store, so while I realize microwaving steaks is the hot item these days, I thought I'd share for the poors out there.
Came across this at Whole Foods yesterday while randomly perusing thinking of what I might cook this week:
There's four of those and they're about the size of a standard looking pork chop I suppose. Either way they were only $10 for the pack. My first thought was to sear them and cook them low and slow in the oven, but I read online of people just cooking it like a steak (the old school way not the microwave way), so I figured I'd do both. I cooked one on the stovetop and it ended up about medium when I took it off as they cook fairly quickly. I didn't take a pic, but it was still tasty. Its not a strong flavor as you might imagine, so I think it would do well with some sort of sauce (butter/lemon/capers makes sense to me depending on how you spice it, I just put salt and pepper on it to see what the meat tasted like). Either way, pretty good, mild but juicy and tender and would have been fine a little more rare despite having a lot of marbling.
The other ones I pan seared then put in the oven at 300 for ~1 hr 1/2 or so. Nothing mindblowing here so no need for a million instructional pics, just seasoned (salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, mexican chili powder), seared, and stuck in the oven till around roughly the time I thought they'd shred. I took them out and added some stubbs bbq sauce and hot sauce and gave them a toss and put it on a corn tortilla and they came out like such:
I thought the meat came out pretty good and more or less what I expected, which was that it didn't taste demonstratively different than a pork shoulder (a little drier but I never cook those in the oven so I'm not sure that's apples/apples in the first place). If you made actual soft tacos with some slaw or veggies or something instead of the lazy abomination pictured above you could probably feed a couple of people with it and a side dish.
