Description
Ribeye steak is cut from the Fore rib and is one of the richest cuts of beef you can get.
It's tender, juicy and very fatty – but the fat breaks down during cooking to tenderise the meat and keep it juicy.
Ribeye steaks come either boneless or bone-in – these ones are boneless.
The eye of the steak – an extension of the Sirloin – has a smooth, almost buttery, texture with a fine grain.
On the edge of the steak there's another strip of meat called the Ribeye cap which is separated from the eye by a large swathe of fat.
The cap has a looser grain, and for many, it's their favourite part of the steak.
There's no doubt about it, Ribeye steak is a once in a while luxury. Not your average everyday steak.
