Ribeye Steak
There's a reason that the ribeye is one of the most popular menu items at a steakhouse. It's cut from the upper rib cage, just below the shoulder, in an area of the cow that does very little work. This steak is noticeably more tender with a rich and buttery texture, much of which is likely due to the ribeye's high fat content. Its generous marbling keeps the steak juicy throughout cooking and adds a lot of flavor. F&W's guide to ribeye helps you cook this cut perfectly and offers ideas for rubs, bastes and other flavorings.

People throughout France sit down regularly to a meal of deceptive simplicity and universal appeal: steak and french fries. It may seem like the world's easiest dish (after all, it requires only two main ingredients), but the steak must be meaty and juicy, the potatoes buttery and crisp, and both must arrive at the table piping hot. Here's an uptown version of this French bistro classic, featuring Steven Raichlen's favorite cut of beef for steaks—rib eye—anointed with a dollop of creamy Roquefort butter. The French would most likely pan-fry the steaks, but Raichlen prefers the flavor that comes with grilling. The frites get their meltingly soft interior and crisp crust from a two-step frying process: the first at a lower temperature to cook them through, the second at a higher heat to crisp them.
