Description
This 1.5 to 2 kg ribeye is the smallest format of the cut in the catalog, built for anyone who wants to enjoy a Friboi ribeye without buying the large piece: it stretches to two or three generous steaks, good for a dinner for a few people or for trying the cut for the first time without committing to more meat than will get eaten soon, or to the freezer space a bigger piece would take up.

It cooks best sliced into steaks at least two centimeters thick and seared over high heat in a pan or on the grill, a few minutes per side depending on the doneness wanted. It can also be cooked whole in the oven if a single piece to share at the table is preferred. Either way, let the meat rest a few minutes before slicing it. For medium doneness, pull it off the heat once it reaches around 130 to 136°F at the center and give it a five-minute rest before slicing, so the juices settle back in rather than running out onto the plate. Thaw it in the refrigerator for about 24 hours; to speed things up, it can be submerged sealed in cold water, changed every thirty minutes.
It arrives frozen as a single 1.5 to 2 kg piece, a size that is easy to fit in any home freezer without taking up much space. It is a good way to keep premium beef on hand for a one-off meal, without needing to plan for several days the way the larger formats of the same cut call for.
