The cap of ribeye is a rich, relatively thin cut and works best when seared on a hot grill or skillet and cooked to medium rare (120°F to 130°F).
Susie Heller, author and producer of cookbooks (including 5 with Thomas Keller) says, ”I like to sauté or grill the meat, forming a well-browned crust with a medium-rare interior. The generous marbling melts in your mouth creating a unique experience.”
Chef David Cruz prepared the cap of ribeye at Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc using sous vide. He suggests using the SRF Gold® cap, Season with salt and pepper and sear on each side for about 60 seconds. Seal the seared cap with butter, crushed garlic, rosemary and thyme. Set sous vide immersion circulator to 58.8°C (137.8°F) and leave for 1.5 hours. Remove from bag, dry off excess moisture, then sear again briefly. Finish with a sprinkling of finishing salt.
Snake River Farms beef grades start at USDA Prime, the top grade on the USDA scale. The majority of SRF beef is marbled well beyond this level. To grade SRF, we use a 12-point Beef Marbling Score (BMS), which measures marbling that exceeds the USDA scale.
SRF Silver® - BMS of 4 to 5. Marbling comparable to USDA Prime.
SRF Black® - BMS of 6 to 8. Significantly more marbling than USDA Prime.
SRF Gold® - BMS of 9 to 10. Dramatically more marbling than USDA Prime.
SRF Gold Plus™ - BMS of 11 to 12. The highest marbling available from Snake River Farms.

Rib
This primal is located under the front section of the backbone between the chuck and loin. The muscles are used primarily for support. The SRF Wagyu™ rib primal produces intensely marbled cuts like ribeye steaks and prime rib roasts.
Three major muscles are included in the rib primal. The longissimus dorsi, or large center eye, the complexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on where the cut is sourced, and the spinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribeye or deckle.

How to cook ribeye steak
For 1.5” steaks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of vegetable oil to the skillet. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place steaks in hot skillet and sear for 4 minutes, turning once. If a steak sticks to the skillet, it’s not ready to turn. Wait until it releases on its own.
Place skillet in a 350°F degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes depending on desired doneness. Turn once halfway through the cooking time. Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand. Remove from oven when preferred internal temperature is reached. Remove steaks from a skillet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. The steaks will continue to cook and the temperature will rise about 5°F.

This was the first time
"This was the first time I ordered the Wagyu Cap of Ribeye Steak. I ordered 5 steaks for a Christmas Eve dinner and was not disappointed. Seasoned with salt & pepper and cooked in a cast iron skillet, with butter, to a beautiful medium rare. A fabulous dinner! Followed it up with a Wagyu boneless Rib Roast on Christmas. What a couple of days."

I have always gave 5
"I have always gave 5 star reviews to SNF. This is my first one star. I wasn’t going to leave a review but I was prompted through email so here it is. I purchased the rib cap cut which is my favorite cut. I bought 4 of them. The first one I opened and cooked had so much tendon and ligaments that I had to through away. I still have the others left so we will see how the rest of them are. If I were at a restaurant I would have sent it back."
