This is probably why I am trying to lose weight, but all I can think when I see that is "is that it?!"
Cowboy prime Rib-eye

Rev, I've been meaning to ask every time you mention a different cut. Can you explain what the cut names mean? In Britain and Spain beef cuts have totally different names. So, for example, what IS a 'Cowboy rib-eye'? Where is it from and what does Cowboy and rib-eye signify?
A rib eye is a steak cut from a prime rib roast, the rib section of a cow. A "cowboy rib eye" is one that is bone in.
I usually reserve the term "cowboy rib eye" to frenched, bone in rib eye steaks that are about 2" thick or so.
Ah! I get it. Those were the kind that were outlawed in the UK during the CJD scare. I think they're permitted again now. So a T-bone is a form of rib-eye, I guess, is it?

The T-bone is a bone-in steak from the short loin. T-shaped with a small bit of the tenderloin.
Which is inferior to the Porterhouse which is a large steak from the thick end of the short loin containing a T-shaped bone and large piece of tenderloin.
Okay, thanks for the lesson. One last thing, where does an Entrecotte come from. 'Cotte' suggests it comes from between the ribs. Can that be right?
That's a rib-eye. Though contre-filet is used with Entrecotte to denote a sirloin.
Aha! It's just that Entrecotte (in UK) or entrecote (Spain) are generally boned. Maybe that's a hangover from CJD days. Thanks, Rev.
¡Qué aproveche!
Wow, Rev's teaching Anda about meat, I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere :mrgreen:
