Best Steak Cuts: Rib Eye

The rib eye is the ultimate steak-lover's steak. It's the most flavorful cut of the animal, and comes with very rich marbling, which provides superior taste when cooked. The cut itself comes from the rib section, where it gets its name. The bone from the rib is typically removed before sale, although some restaurants specifically sell "bone-in rib eye" preparations of the cut. Its abundance of marbling makes it a great cut for grilling and slow roasting.
