The ribeye is ranked number one by beef aficionados because of its intense marbling and rich beefy flavor. The lavish amount of intramuscular fat makes this an extremely savory and juicy steak. SRF ribeyes exude the buttery aroma, flavor and texture that is unique to American Wagyu beef.

Each SRF ribeye contains the fine grained center eye and the coveted cap of ribeye, separated by an unctuous layer of kernel fat. This steak is cut to 1" and 1.5" thick, not by weight. Try our cowboy steak, for a bone-in option of this ribeye steak.

Average weights:
1" - 12 oz.
1.5" - 16 oz.

Ribeye steaks contain an abundant amount of marbling and are best cooked medium rare to medium to allow the intramuscular fat to liquify and distribute throughout the steak.  

The reverse sear, heating the steak at a low temperature and finishing in a skillet, produces an evenly cooked interior. A final sear in a cast iron skillet creates a flavorful, savory crust. 

Ribeyes are a favorite for grilling, but the high level of marbling will cause flare-ups. A two-zone cooking set-up (a direct heat side with all the charcoal and an indirect heat side with no charcoal) allows you to move the steaks to control unwanted flames. If using a gas grill, it’s easy to set-up two zones. Just turn on a burner on one side and leave the other one off.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

Where does ribeye come from?

Ribeye is cut from the rib primal which covers ribs six through twelve and is located between the chuck and the loin primals. This section has a high amount of natural marbling which is key to the flavor and juiciness of a cut. Looking for more tips? Our steak cooking guide has great tips on how to cook ribeye steak .

Is prime rib the same as a ribeye?

Prime rib and ribeye come from the same rib primal and share the same flavor, juiciness and tender profile. However, ribeye steaks have been further processed into steaks. 

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. Learn how to cook any steak perfectly.

Best oil for searing steak

For best results, use an oil with a high smoke point. Smoke point is the temperature when an oil or fat starts to burn. Oils with a high smoke point include avocado, canola, grapeseed, soybean and safflower. Refined versions of most oils have a flavor that is neutral. Other non-vegetable oils like clarified butter and beef tallow have high smoke points but add flavor to the steak.

Very good quality. Its a

"Very good quality. Its a bit of a hassel to order - to run all those tier hurtles to finally get to the premium cut and best grade - with proper thickness. But if you succeed - and then you can pay $105 per steak - the meat seems unrivaled. Offering overnight shipping is also a bonus for short fuse ordering."

Mark J. (5/5)

Some of the best quality

"Some of the best quality meat I’ve ever had. The ribeyes I had were phenomenal. The perfect amount of natural fat. I will definitely be buying these again."

Mike P. (5/5)

The marbling was much less

"The marbling was much less than expected. I can buy beef here in Florida Grade Prime that has just as much marbling for a fraction of the price that you charge. Florida has a large cattle industry and the beef marbling has increased over the last few years. But the meat was frozen and well packed so I gave it a 2."
