I'll take a prime strip over a prime ribeye, or any other steak for that matter with exception for the stupid expensive Jap stuff that I've had once, any day of the week. I will take a non-prime ribeye over the non-prime strip you'll find in your local kroger or whatever.

If you were to cook a ribeye and new york strip to your liking and blind taste test them, do you think you could tell the difference?


Easily. Two amazing cuts of beef, but two very different cuts of beef when it comes to eating.

I prefer a ribeye. The fat gives it more flavor. I'm about to grill some around 6 actually

I eat both frequently. I could definitely tell the difference. The strip is typically tougher but not too tough. When i want a milder, lighter flavor i have a strip steak.

I'll take the strip, though I have never done the test.

Bought a whole New York strip loin the other day. Trimmed it and sliced off 13 steaks and some spare meat. Grilled 5 this weekend, will do the rest on the 4th.

78 bucks and about 90 minutes work.

Just give me a nice T-bone, and I won't have to make a choice!

Nah.

The best steak I ever tasted was a dry aged prime strip.

I will take either a strip or ribeye all day every day. The ribeye needs to be of high quality though or it seems to be lesser.

A lady that’s the head of beef for the FDA was on the freakonomics podcast.

She said that her favorite cut was the Strip. Most flavor.

She also said that they are all different and up to you to decide.

Filet: Most tender but less flavor

Ribeye: balance of flavor and can be tough in the middle. But the ribeye cap is probably the bet small cut of beef there is.

Strip: is the most flavor and slightly tougher than the ribeye overall.

To me, a ribeye is hard to beat if it’s prime and well marbeled in the center. But only if you can get it on a grill that’s over 500 degrees or higher to essentially melt all of the fat.

You can also accomplish this with a sous vide if you cook it long enough. The fat starts to break down.

Another plus for the ribeye is that it absorbs marinade better than any other cut if you want some extra flavor

Strip hands down. Better flavor and texture. Cook to the rare side of medium rare and there's few things in the world that taste better.

This is key IMO

A mediocre ribeye to me is gross, as it won't be well marbled and you just end up with chunks of fat

A high quality ribeye is excellent

Indeed they do. Love that place.

And, on topic, I prefer Ribeye... but it's a close call.

Maybe you can


But I think people would be shocked how hard differentiating foods is in a blind taste taste.....


Alot of people would be shocked how much your sight/preconceived biases play a part in food tasting

There’s a reason why blind tests are standard for wine competitions.

Yep.


I did a blind tasting once and my results were way off from what I would have told you
