Delmonico steak

Steak was originally introduced to the menu around 1850. There seem to be quite a few people who disagree with exactly what this first cut was. Over the years, eight different cuts have come to be known as a Delmonico steak. Some people insist that a Delmonico is a top sirloin; however, if you visit a well-educated butcher, chances are you are going to get a Ribeye. Most people will tell you that the Ribeye is the perfect blend of flavor and tenderness due to the much-desired marbling. Therefore, claiming the Ribeye is just about the best steak you can get. We certainly don’t disagree!
