What about scotch fillet?

Scotch fillet, also known as ribeye steak, is a highly prized cut of beef known for its rich flavor and tenderness. It comes from the rib section of the cow, specifically between ribs 6 and 12. This cut is well-marbled with fat, which enhances its juiciness and makes it one of the most flavorful steak cuts.

Characteristics:

  • Marbling: High-fat content evenly distributed throughout the meat, which melts during cooking, adding flavor and tenderness.
  • Texture: Tender and juicy due to the intramuscular fat.
  • Flavor: Rich, beefy taste with a buttery mouthfeel.
  • Cooking Methods: Best cooked using high-heat methods such as grilling, pan-searing, or broiling to develop a caramelized crust while keeping the inside juicy.

Scotch Fillet vs. Other Cuts:

  • Compared to sirloin, scotch fillet is more marbled and tender.
  • Compared to eye fillet (tenderloin), scotch fillet has more fat, making it more flavorful but slightly less tender.

In Australia and New Zealand, "scotch fillet" is the common name, while in the U.S. and other regions, it's widely known as ribeye steak. When the bone is left attached, it’s called a rib steak or tomahawk steak (if the rib bone is long).
