    I just...I just don't like ribeyes.

    Wow. I said it.

    I grew up eating well-done steaks cooked in the oven. (Yeah....) It wasn't until college that I actually ate a grilled medium-rare steak. But even then, I didn't have a clue as to the different cuts. In the intervening years, I had some good ribeyes and sirloins and found myself preferring the sirloin, and especially the NY strip.

    Obviously, steak is expensive, so I've tended to stick to the strip. However, I've learned so much in the past year on this BBQ journey that I found myself open to trying a ribeye again.

    Last night, a wonderful opportunity presented itself: Ruth's Chris, 16 oz medium-rare prime beef, and I wasn't paying for it.

    Conclusion; I'm just not into ribeyes. Now, to be fair, the spinalis part was very, very good, but that is just about two bites of the steak! I'm just not into all that fat.

    Give me a NY strip with fine marbling and that bold beef flavor....that's what I like.

    Nothing wrong with that. Just like I prefer a ribeye to a NY Strip. To each their own. If we all liked the same thing, life would be boring and there would be no need for discussion forums like this.

      @Michael-In-TX I love ribeyes but I will never one at Ruth's Cris again. For 16oz I ended up with maybe up with 6 - 8 oz. of non-edible meat.

      You should enjoy what your eating so if you like the strip go for it. I will never order a filet, no fat, no flavor.

      Love ribeyes. As I've said, they had to give "the strip" a hip name so people would think it was great, kinda like the Sir-loin.

          I definitely prefer a ribeye. Even better is the ribeye cap steak. To each his/her own. Just like I prefer a tri-tip over a brisket any day.

            Wow! That was out of left field and then shot the gap. I won’t say apples to 🍊 but you are at opposite ends of the steer. Love me some TT though.

          Enjoy what you like. I like beef - no matter the cut, same holds true for pork.

                I say eat what you like and don’t apologize.

                Unless you like filet mignons, then you should apologize!

                  Bwahahaha. Greygoose I have had truly outstanding filet and a lot of them. For sure an excellent bite but not the same flavor for me. Sauce and mushrooms are a game changer though.

                  Greygoose - Of course I haven't had a truly outstanding filet because such a thing does not exist!!!

                  I've had dry aged, wet aged, on the bone, off the bone, at a steakhouse, at a fancy restaurant and at home. I find the meat too soft and the flavor lacking. Naturally I wouldn't kick a filet out of bed but it would choose a lot of other cuts before it, even if price wasn't a factor. My personal ranking:
                  Ribeye
                  Strip
                  Hanger
                  Skirt steak
                  Flanken short ribs
                  Flat iron
                  Porterhouse/t-bone
                  Filet
                  Flank

                My vote is for strips. I recently posted (I think) strips from Wegman. Both my wife and I felt they were the best steaks we've every purchased. Porterhouse and T-Bone are up there. Again, it comes down to your taste.

                  Also, the ribeyes in the butcher case at our local Wegman’s have spinali that are HUGE. I cooked up a couple Saturday that were superb.

                Strip.

                But that doesn’t make ribeyes bad!

                  Tyson can make hot dogs taste like ribs or is that the other way around?

                  I love hotdogs. They are the second reason I frequent my local Costco. The meat counter for ribeyes is 1st!
