A rib eye steak comes from the rib eye roast. The roast is generally 3-6 ribs, where the rib roast comes from ribs 6-12 on the steer. A slice of the roast, generally half and inch to two inches thick, is a rib steak. The rib steak may come with or without the bone.

Fore rib is a cut of beef. It comes from high on the animal, near the midline (feel where your own ribcage ends, move your hand towards your spine and this will give you an idea where the joint comes from). Fore rib is a joint that can either be boned out and rolled, then roast, or it can be left and cooked 'on the bone' - this is what is traditionally served as British roast beef.
A beef rib is a section of a cow from which meat is butchered, or a cut of meat from such a section.
