Frequently Asked Questions
What does Au Poivre mean?
Au Poivre is French for 'with pepper.' Our Bone-In Ribeye Au Poivre features a crust of cracked black peppercorns and is finished with a rich brandy cream sauce — a classic French steakhouse preparation.
Which cut has more fat, filet mignon or ribeye?
The ribeye has significantly more marbling (intramuscular fat) than filet mignon. This fat melts during cooking, creating a juicier, more flavorful steak. Filet mignon is one of the leanest cuts.
Can I get the ribeye without the peppercorn crust?
At Blu' Steakhouse, our Bone-In Ribeye Au Poivre is prepared in the classic French style with peppercorn crust. For a plain ribeye, consider our Tomahawk, which is a 32oz bone-in ribeye with simple seasoning.
