What are rib steaks?

Rib steaks are popular in Dutch cuisine and we understand why. First of all, the question is: what are rib steaks and where exactly are they located? Rib steaks are beautifully marbled stew meat, coming from the first ribs (lower rib, thick rib or fine rib) of beef. So close to the rib eye. The meat is a bit fattier than, for example, steak or lean beef steaks, but therefore requires more flavor and less preparation time. Make no mistake, it is still stew meat and it is not without reason that it is also called simmered meat. Simmering slowly gives the best results, so allow at least 2.5 hours. But if you take your time with rib steaks, you will be left with super-tasty meat. Especially if you choose our Nebraska Prime beef.

Rib steak stew

Rib steaks come from the rib of beef and have a rich taste and firm structure due to the fat present. In other words: ideal meat for slow cooking. The meat contains enough fat to develop a full, juicy flavor during cooking. Let it sit for a long time and fill your house with that smell of stew. There is hardly a better way to spend a (Sunday) day, right? Especially in the fall! By slowly simmering the meat, the fibers in the meat soften and eventually it almost falls apart. And that is of course exactly what you want.
