Beauty steak or roast where does it come from?

I pretty well know the cuts of meat from a cow thanks to my food purchasing nun teacher in college, however, my daughter keeps kosher and last Friday she invited us for a beauty roast dinner. Now, I know of no part of the cow called beauty. I remember beauty steaks from kosher butchers as a kid but never paid much attention. I know its from the forequater but thats about it. Does anyone know where this comes from and what it would be called in a non kosher butcher shop or meat counter.

The internets tell me (so take it with a huge grain of salt) that "beauty steak" is a term that can mean either a ribeye or a boneless chuck eye roast/steak.

My guess is that the latter is what you grew up with. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can clear it up tho.

Ed,

I'd have to respectfully disagree. I vaugely remember hearing the term beauty steak as a child growing up in a Kosher home. The only steaks I can remember ever eating were ribeyes, along with the occasional skirt steak on the grill.

No need for respect, I'm pulling it out of my ass. Thanks anyway

Bridgestone has just recently posted pictures of the elusive Beauty Steak.

From the looks of the roast I thought it might be ribeye, but you can get kosher ribeye. Somehow I think it is the end of the rib closest to the chuck or vice a versa.
Still curious.
