Steak eye is a beef also known as Rib Eye in other parts of the world. It is obtained from the area near the ribs, in the upper part of the loin.

It has a circular shape and is surrounded by a considerable layer of fat. Expert grillers agree that the recommended cooking point to enjoy all the virtues of this piece of meat is medium rare. It costs a little more than the eye of steak even though it is part of same cut, but, to obtain it, the butcher has a reduction in fat.
