cowboy steak
Rib steak, frenched
A cowboy steak is a bone-in ribeye, typically cut thick and featuring a long, frenched rib bone that extends dramatically from the meat.
The impressive presentation and generous marbling make it a steakhouse favorite, often weighing over two pounds.
I ordered the cowboy steak and it barely fit on the plate.
The cut is sometimes called a tomahawk steak when the bone is left especially long.
