What is Cube Roll?
Cube Roll is a premium cut of carabeef sourced from the rib section—specifically ribs 4 to 13—located between the chuck and striploin. Renowned for its tender texture and rich marbling, the cube roll features a central core of fat that enhances both flavor and juiciness. This cut includes the prized ribeye steak and is often the centerpiece of high-end dining due to its succulence and buttery mouthfeel.
About Cube Roll
Cube roll is carved from one of the most coveted primal cuts of the carabeef: the rib section. Its location along the backbone ensures minimal strain on the muscle, resulting in a naturally tender and finely marbled cut. The iconic “cube” of fat at its center lends both its name and its signature melt-in-the-mouth texture.
This cut is often used for boneless ribeye steaks, standing rib roasts, and premium grill dishes. With high fat content and uniform muscle fibers, cube roll responds well to quick, high-heat cooking, locking in moisture and amplifying flavor.
