Besides being too tender (makes mushy burgers) ribeye is the most
mildly flavored beef cut... it's the choice of those who really don't
like the flavor of beef... the same folks who typically only eat the
breast portion of fowl.... the better portion for burgers is the meat
that's trimmed away to make the ribeye. But better is a mix of chuck
and top round... sirloin is good too.
