ribeye
Prime beef steak
A ribeye is a premium cut of beef from the rib section, prized for its rich marbling and tender texture.
The name refers to the central "eye" of meat in the rib roast.
Ribeyes are typically grilled or pan-seared: I'll have the ribeye, medium-rare.
Also spelled rib eye or rib-eye.
