The cube roll cut, classified under USA NAMP 112, is a version of the traditional Argentine “bife ancho sin tapa” (rib eye roll without cap). It is derived from the dorsal region of the beef carcass after removing specific muscles such as the trapezius thoracis, serratus dorsalis, and latissimus dorsi, resulting in a leaner, yet flavourful cut ideal for various culinary applications.

Where This Beef Cut Comes From
The Wide Steak Without Cover (Tapa de Bife Ancho) is sourced from select cattle breeds raised under the highest geographic and sanitary standards. The cut is located in the dorsal region, border-lining the chuck and striploin, offering a richly flavored, finely textured muscle group ideal for high-end beef consumption.
Professionals often compare the cube roll to cuts like the rib eye — prized for its tenderness and rich beef profile. For comparison on prime beef cut nomenclature and other beef cuts like top sirloin and other subprimal beef pieces, reputable resources like Wikipedia provide detailed cut maps and definitions which help meat buyers and chefs understand muscle location and quality.
Culinary Uses and Cooking Suggestions
This cut is ideal for pure culinary expression. Some of the most popular ways to prepare tapa de bife ancho include:
- Grilling: Best over high heat to lock in juices — especially when targeting medium-rare to medium doneness.
- Roasting: Slow roasted for tender, juicy beef servings.
- Slicing for Steaks: Perfect for thick or thin steak portions due to its balanced marbling.
- Pan-searing: Quick sear finishes with butter and herbs for a restaurant-style steak.
Because of its tenderness and texture, chefs often choose cube roll for premium steak menus in steakhouses and premium grills. Some home chefs also treat cube roll slices like traditional rib eye steaks or top sirloin cap steaks for maximum flavor intensity.
How to Cook Wide Steak Without Cover Like a Pro
For best results, chefs recommend the following general steps:
- Season: Apply sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and optional aromatics 30–45 minutes before cooking.
- High Heat Sear: Sear both sides in a preheated skillet or grill to develop a flavorful crust.
- Finish Cooking: Transfer to oven or lower heat area of grill to achieve desired doneness.
- Resting: Allow 8–10 minutes of resting time for juice redistribution.
Because of the premium quality of this cut, simple seasoning often produces outstanding flavor. Many chefs choose minimal seasoning to let the beef flavor shine.
