As steaks go, rib-eye has it all. More tender than rump and boasting far more flavour than fillet, the marbled fat found throughout renders down during cooking, basting the meat with delicious beefy goodness. And while we certainly wouldn’t say no to a good rib-eye served on its own, our collection of the best rib-eye steak recipes offers up plenty of inspiration on what to serve alongside this magnificent piece of meat.

Keep things classic with Richard Corrigan’s Grilled rib-eye with watercress purée, which comes topped with a stack of onion rings, or go for Josh Eggleton’s Rib-eye steak with chunky chips, field mushrooms and vine tomatoes. Add a little zing to contrast with all that umami flavour with Helen Graves’ Barbecue rib-eye steak with watercress salsa verde, or a little heat with Dominic Chapman’s Mustard-infused rib-eye with crispy potatoes. For something totally different, test your skills with Paul Ainsworth’s Polenta, rib-eye steak, three artichokes and smoked yolks dish, and if you have a sous vide machine then definitely try Luke Holder’s Sous vide rib-eye steak cooked in Café de Paris butter.

The key to any rib-eye steak recipe is cooking the meat perfectly, so be sure to take a look at our rib-eye steak cooking guide for everything you need to know.
