Normally, I am all in for rib-eye every time. It’s my favorite cut with it’s quality marbling of fat to meat ratios. But, we were keeping it a little more healthy for this meal, so I went for a leaner, thinner strip steak. It kept the fat in check, and the portions smaller than your average hunk of rib-eye. Pick a cut the suites you. We all have our preferred cut.
