Bone-In Prime Rib Steak Recipe

This Bone-In Prime Rib (Côte de Boeuf) recipe and photo comes to us from past Featured Chef, Tania Teschke and is found in the pages of her wonderful cookbook, The Bordeaux Kitchen. It’s a simple, yet impressive way to serve up a perfect steak.

Tania has a book signing coming up in November, click for details.

Grilling steak isn’t complicated and if you start with a good cut of meat, chances are you can make it as good or better than what you’ll get in an upscale restaurant. The bone-in Prime Rib Steak (otherwise known as bone-in Ribeye) is a thick cut, fatty steak with mouthwatering flavor.

There is a debate among steak lovers over which is better; bone-in or boneless. This is likely a matter of preference. If you’re looking to impress, the bone-in is hard to beat for presentation. Flavor wise, it’s hard to say whether the bone marrow from the bone is able to seep into the meat offering a more buttery taste. Either way, a good grass-fed Ribeye will knock it out of the park every time.
