Rib Eye Steak

Australians define the Rib Eye cut of meat as a meal fit for a king . Sources from the land of kangaroos confirm that even industry leaders such as Doctor Davey Griffin highlight the importance and supremacy of this cut of meat. In Italian the name sounds a little more reductive and we call it rib .

"There are two types of people: those who eat the rib eye steak first and those who leave this fine and particular cut of meat at the end of the meal."

A very respectable steak that can reach 200 g , contains its delicacy in the deep marbling and in the presence of a good quantity of fat which contributes to giving a strong flavor to the lucky person who finds it on the plate. The Rib Eye is defined as the king cut of the section it belongs to. It is obtained from the front part of the loin and includes all the best characteristics both in terms of flavor and aesthetics. Fat becomes the main ingredient, rich in flavor and capable of transforming a simple steak into a riot of flavours!

However, considering it a simple steak risks diminishing its scope; choose to cook the cut of meat using refined ingredients capable of giving a magical touch and a particular treatment... In short, behave like a king!
