LongHorn Ribeye Signature Ribeye Steak
The LongHorn Ribeye is cut from the rib primal, a section of the cow that does very little physical work, resulting in heavy intramuscular fat known as marbling. That marbling is exactly what gives the ribeye its rich, buttery, melt in your mouth character that no other boneless cut on the LongHorn Steakhouse menu can replicate.
What Makes the Ribeye Different
The rib primal produces some of the most flavorful beef on the animal. The ribeye muscle called the longissimus dorsi is surrounded by a thick cap of fat and interspersed with fine threads of marbling throughout. When this fat renders during cooking, it bastes the steak from the inside out, creating a richness and depth of flavor that leaner cuts like the New York Strip or Flo’s Filet simply cannot achieve.
Every LongHorn Ribeye is made from USDA Choice beef, fresh and never frozen, seasoned with LongHorn Grill Seasoning, and cooked on a flat-top grill to your exact doneness by a certified Grill Master trained under LongHorn’s Legendary Grill training program, as owner promise to serve great beef, cooked right, every single time.
