About Choice beef rib eye

Rib eye is the cut most New York steak menus are built on and the least forgiving to buy, because it sits at the top of the price band and cannot be substituted without a guest noticing. USDA Choice is a grade — a marbling and maturity call made on the carcass — and not a brand, which is the useful part for a buyer: Choice is a defined product, so quotes from different suppliers can be compared directly. What is priced here is the primal, meaning steaks that have yet to be cut, with portion size and trim loss sitting between this number and the plate cost.

Buying notes

Quoted by the pound as a single reference with no alternative format, so the number is the whole decision on this item. Because it is sold as a primal, price the steak rather than the box — what matters is cost per portion after trim and cutting yield.
