In the United States, the term rib eye steak or Spencer steak is used for a rib steak with the bone removed ; however in some areas, and outside the U.S., the terms are often used interchangeably. The rib eye or `` ribeye '' was originally, as the name implies, the center best portion of the rib steak, without the bone. In Australia, `` ribeye '' is used when this cut is served with the bone in. With the bone removed, it is called `` Scotch fillet ''. It is both flavorful and tender, coming from the lightly worked upper rib cage area. Its marbling of fat makes it very good for fast and hot cooking.
