rib eye steak

[roosi]

is rib eye a "peoples favourite" in the steak world? i just bought some for tonight and my partner doesnt want any but i didnt get the reason why he wouldnt eat it, it looks lovely BTW?
Fillet steak would've been the one, but the shop was out of them, but thought this (rib eye) wud be good for a change?

Fillet steak is the most pricey, i never buy it, like my steak to have a bit of fat on, rib eye is a tasty piece of steak he is a fussy sod lol!!!!

Rib eye steak slow cooked in the oven with a little stock, takes some beating, cover with foil and cook for about 90 mins on GM 3, beautiful, far tastier than fillet in our opinion.

On the rare occasion Mr O takes me out for a meal, we visit a local restaurant famed for its steaks and I always go for rib eye.
I'm not a great lover of fillet steak and when I cook at home I always buy rump as I think it has more flavour, as well as being cheaper.

If your partner won't eat the rib eye, I have nothing planned for my tea tonight........

[roosi]

LOL fussy sod he is!! ha ha ha

I know, and couldn't think of a reason why he wouldn't eat it, he just said it's not for me....

God knows was going to cook it in the foreman, until pink in middle and serve with salad and minted spuds - is it tender enough to do in foreman? Healthy eating ye see!

Haven't used a foreman, but griddle all our steaks. I'm sure it'll be fine in the foreman, just don't overcook it!
And your man is mad-Rib eye is my new favorite!

p.s. im a butcher too !!

when people ask me about steak....i.e the differnce between rump or fillet say...

to a male i say 'its like a redhead or a blonde. you want both but you will one day, make ur own mind up'

to a female i say the same but use a trip to spain or trip to greece

my fav is rib eye.......i would touch fillet..

pork fillet.....lol now thats something worth trying, if you like 'lean' meat

gee, im rambling....

[puddicat]

yep pork fillet is delicious not used as much as beef!!

[LoftyLottie]

I love rib eye steak and sirloin steak. The flavour is fantastic. I find fillet totally tasteless. I am now hungry!!

[mrrobbo15]

sorry i meant to say, 'i wouldnt touch fillet'

[sir.knobby]

I much prefer a nice bit of rib eye to rump or sirloin but of course fillet is best

[Prudentia]

I have found the best way to enhance a good well marbled fillet steak is to pan fry in beef dripping, and be sure to cook it medium rare then sear the outside with a hot searing fork, add a little water to the remaining juices, raise up in the pan and pour over, off to the butchers first thing tomorrow.

Tomorrow , I'm of to asdas now to get a nice bit of rib eye
