Rubia Gallega Rib Steak 1kg Rubia Gallega is a breed of cattle indigenous to Galicia. This beef is produced exclusively from this breed. The cattle graze on the meadows of Galicia for up to 8-12 years, allowing them to grow big and put on layers of marbled fat. This results in an extraordinary flavour, an intense beefy-ness, and succulence. The beef is then dry-aged for 45 days, further intensifying the flavour and tenderizing the meat. Cooking Rubia Gallega Beef: This beef is traditionally cooked over charcoal, but it will also cook beautifully on a plancha or on a cast iron griddle or pan. The important thing to remember is that Rubia Gallega beef has sufficient fat within each steak, so just a light greasing of the pan is necessary.

This did taste like other beef of this nature I've had, good depth of fatty, beefy flavour but I think I just prefer a more tender meal. Some bits were lovely but other pieces took some serious chewing despite it being well treated and cooked.

I was very impressed with all the products I purchased. I will definitely buy again. However I was disappointed that the 10% discount to first orders wasn’t applied. Also when I raised the issue on Facebook the response I received wasn’t very helpful. I was told you set an account which I did and follow the instructions which I did. I explained this was obviously not very clear. The response I received was a link to your website. Slightly unhelpful. Maybe I missed something obvious but surely when I registered as a new account the discount should of been applied at checkout?? That said the Steak in particular was very good.

Great steak but unfortunately absolutely enormous bone. About 650g steak from the piece pulling the price to not far off £70 a kilo. The other rubia gallega steak is much better value as aged longer and smaller bone but less tender cut. Not sure I would buy again purely based on size of bone.

Maybe it’s down to me not getting the steak rare enough. So 4 stars flavours were good and I would definitely cook it less than pink next time.

Did this on the charcoal bbq. Good rich crust and cooked rare to maximise the taste. Beautifully tender and juicy
