A Rib-Eye is Two Different Steaks. One is Much Better. #Shorts

Rib eye steaks are made from the main muscle attached to the back of a cow known as the rib. The main distinguishing feature of these cuts is the strip of fat on the top. Because this part of the muscle is not heavily trained (yes there is a correlation between the toughness of meat and training) the meat is quite tender and delicious.

This is a particularly tender cut of beef while poor quality cuts can be tougher so it is crucial to understand the factors to look for when buying quality steaks.

Selecting the best rib eye steak is subjective and depends on the cooking method and individual taste. Rib eyes are covered in muscle fat which gives them their well-known intense meaty flavor. Therefore it is best to cook them medium-rare.
