What is ribeye steak?

Widely considered to be the tastiest steak, ribeye comes from the "rib" (the main muscle attached to the spine of a cow). This part of the cow does very little work during its typical day-to-day, therefore producing meat that is very, very tender. More often than not, ribeye steaks are also laced with ribbons of marbling (intramuscular fat), giving them their well-known rich, succulent taste.

How to Cook Ribeye Steak:

1. Take the rib-eye steak out of the packet and allow it to get to room temperature before cooking.
2. Place a non-stick frying pan on high heat, and add two tablespoons of oil.
3. Once the pan is hot enough, carefully place the sirloin steak into the frying pan.
4. Add a knob of butter and spoon over the steak, while cooking it on each side.
5. Cooking time for your steak depends on how you like to eat your steak; check our cooking times for how long to cook your steak each side*
6. After you have cooked it, leave the steak to rest for at least five minutes, before serving.
