Ribeye roasts are from the rib area of a cow. Their rich, beefy flavor and extensive marbling make these roasts a popular choice for holiday meals and special occasions. Ribeye roasts are available in three "grades" as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA):
A "frenched" ribeye roast has had the meat and fat cut away from the end to expose the bone. Frenching a ribeye is done purely for aesthetic reasons. Wagyu ribeye roasts come from a specific breed of Japanese cattle that produce meat with extremely high marbling. Wagyu roasts are known for being delicious and juicy but also very expensive. 

Some ribeye roasts are bone-in, and others are boneless. Which you choose is a matter of preference. Bone-in ribeye roasts tend to be the juiciest closest to the bone, and many believe that leaving the bone in while cooking adds more flavor to the beef. Boneless ribeye roasts cook faster and are easier to carve since you don't need to cut around a bone. Bone-in beef tends to be less expensive compared to boneless beef. A three-ounce serving of ribeye roast provides 180 calories, four grams of fat, and a whopping 24 grams of protein. A serving also provides 10% of your daily iron and 50% of your daily zinc requirement.

FAQs about ribeye roasts

Marbling refers to the white streaks of fat that run through beef, similar to veins of color running through a piece of marble. This fat melts during cooking, providing extra flavor and keeping the meat moist. Meat with a higher amount of marbling is generally juicier and can be cooked quickly without a loss of flavor or texture. Lean cuts of beef have little marbling and are best cooked slowly. Most ribeye roasts are well-marbled and juicy.

Cutting steaks from a ribeye roast is easy to do at home. All you need to do is decide how thick you want your steaks (one inch is a good, average steak) and then cut accordingly. Ribeye roast steaks are delicious grilled or pan-fried.

Round out your meal by serving roasted vegetables, potatoes (mashed, roasted, or au gratin), and bread. A dark stout or porter beer is great alongside a ribeye roast. Red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, brings out the flavors and cuts the fattiness of the beef. Whiskey is also a classic drink to enjoy with a ribeye roast.
