About Our Prime Rib Eye
Prime rib eye is our standard rib eye taken up a grade: cut from the best-marbled part of the rib and selected for the fine threads of intramuscular fat that melt as it cooks. That marbling is what makes a rib eye the juiciest, most forgiving steak on the counter, and there is more of it here. It is the steak butchers cook for themselves.
We cut it on or off the bone. The eye of muscle sits in the centre with the fattier cap curling around it - the cap is the best-eating part and we leave it on. Because there is so much fat, it is hard to ruin: cook it to medium so the marbling has time to render, baste it in its own fat, and rest it. It stands up beautifully to charcoal.
How to Cook Prime Rib Eye
- Do not oil the pan - a rib eye renders plenty of its own fat.
- Cook to medium rather than rare so the marbling melts through.
- Baste with the rendered fat, butter, garlic and thyme in the last minute.
- Over charcoal, expect flare-ups from dripping fat; keep a cooler zone to move it to.
- Rest five minutes, cut the cap away, and slice both parts across the grain.
