A ribeye steak is a beefsteak that comes from the rib section of the animal. It tends to be tenderer, with more fat than other cuts of beef, since these muscles don't receive much use. A ribeye steak frequently contains part of a rib bone, although "bone out" ribeye steaks are also available. This cut of meat lends itself well to dry-heat cooking.
