What is Rib Eye Steak?
Rib eye steak is cut from the rib section of the cow, specifically the longissimus dorsi muscle, which runs along the spine and doesn’t get much exercise. That’s the secret to its tenderness.
But what really makes rib eye legendary is its marbling; the fine streaks of fat that run through the meat. When cooked, this marbling melts, infusing the steak with mouthwatering flavour and juiciness.
Why Do Nigerians Love Rib Eye Steak?

"It tastes like something you can only eat at a fancy restaurant."
"It doesn’t need much seasoning, the flavour is on another level."
