Ribeye Steaks with Horseradish Butter
Method
Tips
- Maureen's favourite steak, because of its delicious beefy flavour, this heavily marbled cut has a ribbon of fat at its core which melts during cooking, making the meat sensationally juicy. It's also great value, so Ribeye Steaks and roasts are a good choice for family meals.
Also known as the Scotch fillet (in Australia and New Zealand), When cut into steaks, the ribeye is one of the most popular, juicy, but quite expensive steaks on the market.
Meat from the rib section is more tender and fattier (the meat is said to be "marbled") than most other cuts of beef. This extra fat makes ribeye steaks, roasts especially tender, and flavoursome, and well suited to dry heat cookery.
The ribeye can be cut boneless or bone-in, a "bone-in ribeye" (sometimes called a "cowboy ribeye") is synonymous with a rib steak. The cuts are otherwise identical, a justification sometimes used for leaving the bone in is that extra moisture and fat alongside the bone will enhance the flavour, although the inclusion of bone may also be used to inflate the weight of the steak.
