Hubby and I love a rib-eye, well hung, with a good marbling of fat to keep the meat juicy and moist whilst on the BBQ or grill. Served with some fried onions and thick cut chips, and a lovely fresh garden salad - what could be nicer?!! Got a lovely bottle of English sparkling rose to wash it down, and some beautiful just picked fresh English strawberries, with oe homemade clotted cream Ice cream to follow.
I like a nice fillet (cheapest and best at CostCo) because they're the tenderest and my teeth chew them better. But they tend to have less taste. Sad to say, fat seems to provide juiciness and taste while also providing, well, fat.
Any of the above as long as it has been well hung - ribeye is a good steak though for the bbq and grill becuase of the fat content. Belgian fries for me, maybe mushrooms, and a green or cucumber salad.
Rib-eye, watercress ( there HAS to be watercress) mushrooms, fried floured onion rings and cherry tomatoes baked slowly with balsamic and soft brown sugar until they just burst, new potatoes finished in butter and sprinkled with chopped chives. Now that is a perfect meal ☺
We raise beef cattle here in the western U.S. and rib-eye is considered the best of all cuts. Having said that (don't tell my neighbors) I personally like a cut called New York Strip a little better (sometimes called a Club Steak). It's not as well marbeled, but has a nice strip of fat along the outer side and is cut from the short loin just aft of the Rib Eye source..
Thing is when grilling it doesn't flare as badly a rib-eye when searing but has the same flavor. About a pound is a nice size... about 1 1/2 inches thick... Additionally the mushrooms are fried in a skillet with a little olive oil and two good dollops of Worcestershire until tender... add to this a five inch long Idaho potato baked until the skin is crispy along with the fresh garden salad as previously mentioned... No steak sauce, thank you!
