Hope the butcher weighs in
I was told the ribeye has more fat, I would think that would be better. I know RickB really likes his.
Sorry to be late to the party....been a trying day. One death of a friend, not a good prognosis from another one, had to deal with Bank of America and Comcast.....such is life! Much rather be discussing meat!!
Yes, the strip loin is rather lean, it's an extension of the sirloin muscle all the way to the rib muscle (they do share characteristics) and the rib eye is fatter. Both are good candidates for dry aging, but if I had my druthers, I'd go with the rib eye.
