Delmonico steak or steak Delmonico (/dɛlˈmɒnɪk/, Italian: [delˈmɔːniko]) is one of several cuts of beef (usually ribeye), with a thick-cut preparation popularized by Delmonico's restaurant in New York City during the mid-19th century.

A Delmonico steak may be any of various cuts of beef steak, using preparations that vary regionally in the United States. The term "Delmonico steak" might refer to any thick-cut steak.

In addition to the steak, the original meal also included a potato dish, known as Delmonico potatoes, prepared by making a mashed potato dish topped with grated cheese and buttered breadcrumbs, then baked until golden brown and served steaming.
