Meat knowledge
What is a rib eye steak?
A wonderful crust on the outside and tender on the inside, with a light bite. That's right, we're talking about one of the most popular cuts of beef: the rib-eye steak. Sometimes also called entrecote, the rib-eye steak enjoys the title of "steak of the connoisseurs and gourmets", among others.
Why? Because it combines exactly what makes a real steak. It's no wonder that no steakhouse menu should be without it. The Mercedes of all meats, so to speak.
What distinguishes our Black Label Rib-Eye Steak?
With our Fitmeat Black Label, we select the crème de la crème of our products. They are all carefully selected and distinguished by their particularly high quality as well as marbling.
Our Black Label rib-eye steaks come from the Angus calf and impress with their stunning marbling. In addition to that our Black Label Chuck Steaks are dry-aged for 3 weeks and wet-aged for 2 weeks.
This method is one of the oldest preparation techniques and requires not only a high level of expertise, but also a lot of time, patience and passion. But the wait is duly rewarded: with unique flavours and a fabulous meat consistency that is second to none. The rib-eye steaks are butter-tender, have an intense aroma and an exceptional bite.
How to cook the perfect rib eye steak
Whether on the grill or in the pan, the steak becomes a real highlight in any case. The fine marbling and fat inclusions not only provide extra flavour, they also prevent the meat from drying out quickly.
A short, hot sear is all it takes to get the perfect combination of delicious crust and soft, juicy centre. The meat is then left in the oven to mature to the desired core temperature (we recommend 54 °C).
Recommendation for cooking
Medium rare at approx. 53 °C core temperature
Quantity per person
For normal eaters, a steak of about 300g per person is sufficient. Strong eaters treat themselves to a 500g rib eye steak or share it with a friend.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
