To cut a T-bone from butchered cattle, a lumbar vertebra is sawn in half through the vertebral column. The downward prong of the 'T' is a transverse process of the vertebra, and the flesh surrounding it is the spinal muscles. The small semicircle at the top of the 'T' is half of the vertebral foramen.

In Texas, a boneless rib eye steak is sometimes called a "Maudeen Center Cut". A "tomahawk chop" steak is a ribeye beef steak, trimmed leaving at least five inches of rib bone intact, French trimmed taking the meat and fat from the bared bone to create a distinctive ‘handle’ to the steak [4]
Previous to chopping, the fat, bones, tendons and fasciae should all be cut away, and the lean muscle cut up in pieces an inch or two square. Steaks cut through the centre of the round are the richest and best for this purpose. Beef should be procured from well fatted animals that are from four to six years old.
