Ribeye Steak Delivery or Pickup

The incredible fat marbling, which is the white veins you see running through the rib-eye, is what contributes to this cut's delicious flavor. Unfortunately, this is also what causes the rib-eye to be higher in fat than other steaks. In fact, it contains 4 grams of saturated fat, which is 20% of the daily recommended value. It's high in protein, though, providing 23 grams or 46% of the daily recommended value. Most steaks, including the rib-eye, contain vitamins B12 and B6, iron, zinc, and phosphorus, all of which are necessary in your diet.

You shouldn't have any trouble finding a rib-eye steak at your local market, as it's not well known in the U.S by any other name. However, this steak can sometimes go by names like Delmonico steak, Scotch filet, Beauty steak, Market steak, and Spencer steak, especially if you're in another country.

To ensure you get the best steak, it's important that you're familiar with all your options. Rib-eye steak is one of the more common and popular steaks on the market, and for good reason. Its technical cut is called spinalis dorsi, and it comes from the rib portion of the cow. This is the section located behind the chuck and in front of the loin. The meat is actually the portion that sits between the ribs, and it has a bold, full flavor that retains its juiciness as it cooks.

Since the rib-eye comes from near the cow's backbone, a section of muscle that isn't used much, the meat is very tender. This is just part of what makes this cut so popular with steak lovers. It's also very flavorful, thanks to its exceptional marbling of fat that runs throughout the cut. Of course, this steak is one of the more expensive options, but it's well worth the money for its savory flavor and ease of preparation. The exact price will depend on a couple of factors, such as:

Because rib-eye steaks are one of the more common cuts, it's usually not hard to find at your local butcher or in the grocery store's meat department. Although it comes from the rib section, it's boneless. Restaurants love to serve this steak for its perfect size that nicely fills the plate, and it makes an impressive meal when served at your backyard barbecue.

Some people are intimidated by the thought of cooking steak. Perhaps this is because they're usually served in high-end restaurants. Steak is actually quite simple to prepare. Rib-eye steak is most commonly grilled, but you can also pan-sear or broil this cut. No matter which method you choose for cooking your rib-eye, it's best served rare to medium-rare, so it retains its flavor, but it can be cooked to medium or even medium-well and still be very flavorful. 

The fat in the rib-eye cooks off as it heats up, creating a buttery taste that makes it melt in your mouth. You really only need to add a little salt to the steak, as it has a lot of flavor all on its own. Marinating this cut isn't recommended, as it just masks its natural taste.
