Definitely a ribeye, just a lower quality one. Technically a Delmonico steak. Cut from the rib far enough up to be lacking any major spinalis muscle (the soft, fatty cap meat on the opposite side from the tail and also the most valuable part of the steak.). OP pretty much got sold a low grade ribeye as a filet. If this was from a restaurant I hope OP posts because they are scamming.
