Ribeye Overview
When you have marbling in mind and aren’t shopping by fat content, the Ribeye is the steak you should choose. It’s got the intramuscular fat that makes beef both flavorful and rich-feeling in the mouth. While a Ribeye isn’t the most tender meat available, it’s still far softer and easier to cut than many other steaks. Many people feel that the fine-grained texture is superior to the softer cuts like Filet Mignon. Try bone-in or boneless variations of this beloved cut.
