Is Entrecote the same as ribeye?
Chef's answer
Although entrecote counts as the front part of the animal it is tender and marbled and suitable for frying or grilling. A piece of entrecote with the ribs left is called Rib-eye (or Rib eye, the "eye" is the lump of fat in the middle of a fine cut) or Cote de boeuf. Also known as Scottish fillet..
