In the world of gastronomy, there are meat cuts that stand out for their unparalleled flavor and texture. One of these is the famous Rib Eye, a classic choice on grills worldwide. But what makes Rib Eye so special, and how is it prepared to delight diners? This time, we’ll tell you a bit more about it.
The Origin of Rib Eye
This meat cut comes from the upper part of beef ribs. Its location in the animal gives it exceptional juiciness and flavor due to the infiltration of fat between the muscle fibers. This intramuscular fat, or “marbling,” is what makes the cut tender and full of flavor.
How It’s Prepared
Proper preparation is essential to highlight its unique flavor. Here are some key steps:
Choosing the meat cut: Start by selecting a high-quality Rib Eye. We suggest a Black Onyx or Wagyu Cross, both certified and of very high quality.
Temperature: Remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Seasoning: You can season it with salt and pepper to taste. Some people also add herbs and garlic to give it an extra flavor boost.
Grill or Skillet: Cook the meat cut on a hot grill or sturdy skillet for about 3-5 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare, but adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness.
Rest: After cooking, you should let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it even juicier.
