Jackie Kennedy’s Spicy Rib-Eyes is a special take on a special steak, ready to serve to presidents (or just people you love)! The flavorful, succulent rib-eye steaks, one of the most prime cuts of steak around, are rubbed in a zesty, spicy seasoning mix and grilled until charred perfection. But then, Jackie Kennedy’s Spicy Rib-Eyes truly make this steak White House-ready by topping them with homemade lime-butter for a delicate contrasting tang and added richness. You can’t say no to these steaks… it would be unconstitutional!
