What steak cut is this?


My butcher gave me this free leftover cut, do you know which cut it is? Does it look high quality?

    Ribeye, not too much marbling but if it was free it’s pretty nice

    As others have said, it’s a ribeye. Pretty low quality in terms of marbling and the size of the cap, but it looks like a decent size and you can’t beat free steak.

    You could always baste it in some butter. But a lean steak isn’t the worst thing in the world. You got a “healthier” option without the added fat.

    I was worried you spent money this 😅

    All these other guys are wrong. It’s actually a ribeye.

    Ribeye from a cow that has been training for running a marathon.

    That cow was a track star at the ranch.

    Looks like a ribeye but with very little marbling

    The rib-eye of a cow that has been training for marathons. Heckuva cut for free to be sure.

    I’ve never seen a ribeye with so little marbling, it almost looks painted.

    It would probably work well in a fajita or something where it’s not cooked to eat like a “steak” though

    Select grade lean ribeye cut from near the loin end of the roast.

    This is a phenomenal steak IF you want a leaner steak. Most often people want more marbling/fattier steak, but just like ground beef comes in 80/20, 90/10 steak is similarish. Some prefer fattier some prefer leaner. People will often criticize a steak for being lean because it will often turn out tougher/chewier, but if cooked properly that can be avoided. At the end of the day it’s all about preference.

    Just don’t over cook it. You’ll be fine. Maybe don’t eat it as a steak by itself but it would be fine any other way. Tacos, Mongolian beef, philly cheese steak. Nothing would stop me from getting max fulfilment from this lol

    Ribeye with absolutely no marbling. That is why it was free.

    It’s a ribeye, let it sit in a tenderizing marinade for a few hours, will be good to go

    It looks really low grade but if you were to get creative you could probably make a great spinalis(sp?) roll steak out of the cap and then blue rare the rest?

    Chunks of stewing beef, fat and Moo Gloo (Transglutaminase)

    I remember being young and dumb and thinking red was good. Man, I really put my teeth through it.

    Put a bacon strip around it and broil it up
