The Steak Cut Anthony Bourdain Favored
BY MATTHEW SPINA
Known for his love of beef and steak, the late chef Anthony Bourdain once admitted in an interview with Insider Tech that the rib cut stands above all the other cuts.
Bourdain says rib cuts have the perfect mix of fat for flavor, and lean, tender meat. The rib is a primal cut of beef, which produces two beloved, juicy cuts: prime rib and ribeye.
You don't need to limit yourself just to these cuts. All cuts from the rib have excellent fat marbling because the rib is an area of the cow that doesn't see a lot of muscle usage.
Bourdain lists entrecôte and côte de boeuf as other great rib steaks, with entrecôte being a more classic ribeye-like steak and côte de boeuf being similar to a standing rib roast.
