The rib steak is called the King of Steaks for very good reason. A rib steak with the bone-in has just the right amount of marbling (fatty streaks throughout the meat) to keep it juicy and full-flavored from the grill to your plate.

A very light rub with olive oil, crushed black pepper and kosher salt and it’s ready for the grill.
