â¢ DELMONICO STEAK (noun). The noun DELMONICO STEAK has 1 sense: 1. small steak from the front of the short loin of beef. Familiarity information: DELMONICO STEAK used as a noun is very rare.
However, if youâre just getting one bone, this makes it a rib eye (called a Delmonico when boneless, a Scotch filet in Australia and New Zealand, and a cowboy steak when the rib bone is extra long and frenched). The rib eye is the fattiest of the high-end steaks, which means it has the boldest flavor. It also means that it needs to be handled differently than a porterhouse, T-bone, strip, or filet. Because of their high fat content, rib eyes do well when cooked in a cast iron skillet.
