This tender, flavorful beef steak is a boneless cut from the rib section (between the short loin and the chuck). If the bones are removed the result is the extremely tender rib-eye steak. Both should be quickly cooked by grilling, broiling or frying. See also beef; rib roast.

A rib steak is a beef steak sliced from the rib primal of a beef animal, with rib bone attached. In the United States, the term rib eye steak is used for a rib steak with the bone removed; however in some areas, and outside the U.S., the terms are often used interchangeably. The rib eye or "ribeye" was originally, as the name implies, the center best portion of the rib steak, without the bone.
It is one of the more flavorful cuts of beef, due to the muscle getting a lot of exercise during its life, unlike the fillet. Its marbling of fat makes this very good for slow roasting and it also goes great on a grill cooked to any degree.
