WHAT IS GALICIAN CHUCK STEAK? At Basco, we only source the highest quality beef from Galicia in the Northwest of Spain. Our hand diced chuck steak is from our Capricho de Oro Galician beef range. From the fore end of the animal, well marbled and full of flavour chuck steak is perfect for slow braising or stewing in casseroles and curries, Our Galician chuck steak has phenomenal marbling which keeps the beef moist as it cooks. Braised, it is truly unbeatable. Our chuck steak comes from retired Rubia Gallega cows over 10 years old. This type of ageing allows more natural grass-fed marbling of the beef so that its comparable to the marbling of genetically optimised grain-fed US, Japanese and generic Wagyu beef. These older cows are chubbier animals, have a higher percentage fat content and as such have more marbling, giving these beef steaks a distinct and unique flavour. All our Capricho de Oro beef is dry aged for a minimum of 50 days. HOW TO COOK GALICIAN CHUCK STEAK? The perfect way to cook and serve our Capricho de Oro diced chuck steak is to brown it on all sides and slowly braise it in red wine and beef stock for 3 hours. HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY GALICIAN CHUCK STEAK? You will receive one frozen bag of Capricho de Oro diced chuck steak delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the steak straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM BAG TO BAG, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE WEIGHT OF YOUR GALICIAN DICED CHUCK STEAK. PLEASE NOTE THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN FROZEN FROM FRESH, SO PLEASE REFER TO THE NEW BASCO USE BY DATE LABEL.

It's fantastic to have a supplier of these unusual cuts. This one is heavily marbled and absolutely melts in the mouth when grilled. Fantastic value.

Flavour excellent but too much fat for me. Maybe with a longer slow cook you can render more fat out before putting on charcoal.

A delicious treat. Although not a prime cut, Lagrima is well balanced with a balanced meat to fat ratio. Would not recommend to those averse to fatty meats! In my view 5/5.

It’s really amazing experience! If you haven’t have just try, I order from BASCO and I have been really sceptical.... BUT amazing experience, and wow I have to say I haven’t expected this. Exactly as they promised, everything frozen and no sign of melted ice or meat!!! I will order surely again!!! It’s same stuff but just small pieces , I love it :)

Oh my goodness, Lagrima Iberica is so tasty! It's a cut I'd not heard of before so thought I'd give it a go and so glad I did. I cooked quickly at high heat on the barbecue to get a nice char whilst keeping the inside pink and just added a squeeze of lemon and some thyme and it was delicious. As for Basco Fine Foods themselves, it's my first time ordering from them and it definitely will not be the last. I placed the order at midday and it was at my doorstep by 9:30 the following morning, with email updates throughout, excellent!!
