Definition & Bedeutung von "ribeye"

What is "ribeye"?

Ribeye, also known as ribeye steak, is a popular and highly prized cut of beef known for its rich flavor and tenderness. It is taken from the rib primal cut. Ribeye steaks are distinguished by their generous marbling, which consists of intramuscular fat that melts during cooking, enhancing both the flavor and juiciness of the meat. The ribeye is typically prepared using dry-heat cooking methods such as grilling, broiling, or pan-searing to allow the fat to render and the meat to develop a caramelized crust. It is often seasoned simply with salt and pepper to let the natural flavor of the beef shine through.
