Ribeyes are known as the steak lover’s steak and this dry-aged USDA Prime ribeye holds up to the highest expectations. Each ribeye is rich with the high level of marbling that only comes from USDA Prime graded beef. Careful dry-aging concentrates the natural beef flavor for a distinctive eating experience.
The Double R Ranch Dry-Aged USDA Prime ribeye steak starts with richly marbled beef and adds the flavorful element of dry-aging. The end result is a 14 oz. ribeye that rivals steaks served in the finest dining establishments in the country. The high level of intramuscular fat is a key element to creating high quality dry-aged steaks with a superior level of tenderness and distinctive flavor. Each ribeye is sourced from ranches in the Northwest and is carefully dry-aged by our partner in New York. Dry-aging concentrates the natural flavor of our beef for an elevated dining adventure.Â
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
The ribeye steak is cut from the rib primal which covers ribs six through twelve and is located between the chuck and loin primals. A full ribeye, like the cowboy steak, has three major muscles. The longissimus dorsi, or large center eye, the complexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on where the steak is cut, and the spinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribeye or deckle. The cap is universally known as the single most flavorful and tender cut. The muscles of the ribeye are held together with tender sinew with large swaths of rich fat between them..
