Recipes for rib eyes that aren't in steak format?
I've got about 2 pounds of rib eye steak that needs to be cooked, but I don't want to prepare it as a steak. So what can I do? My kitchen is fully stocked and we'll eat anything, as long as it's not excessively spicy.

Thinly slice for cheesesteak.

cheesesteak is a good idea. i also make a homemade version of our local chinese place's hawaiian beef. Thinly slice your ribeye. marinate in a mixture of good soy sauce, garlic, oil, ginger and brown sugar. can marinate all day or overnight. skewer and grill for 5 to 7 minutes.

Rib eye is good steak ... seems a shame to stew it.

steak tartare
Beef carpaccio if the quality is sufficient

Seconding bulgogi, especially for use in a Korean taco!

Oh man, suggestions to braise it like chili or boeuf bourguignon are way off the mark. The meat has a much higher fat content and lower connective tissue content that what is typically used in braises. This will lead to stews that are greasy but not intensely beef-flavored.
You're much better off going with dishes that involve slicing the meat thinly and cooking it quickly. Pho and fajitas come to mind, you'll still taste the unique character of ribeye with either of these cooking methods. Also kebabs, if made properly they'll show off the character of the meat very well.

Maybe a little too steaky for you, but you can grill it with some salt and pepper or whatever else you like, slice it up and make delicious sandwiches with some mayo, arugula, and decent cheese on whatever crusty roll strikes your fancy.

If you have what I think you have, you should make this recipe for "Sunday Roast Beef". When I bought a rib roast for this purpose, they basically gave me the same stuff you'd get for a steak, but just together.
I make this recipe once a week in the winter, usually with cheaper cuts like Bottom Round, but when I've made it with Rib Roast, it was extraordinary. Note: I skip the sauce. The key is the salt + pepper coating, the searing and the 15 minute per pound cooking time.
