Minhota Ox Steak 1.2Kg Reviews

4.8 Rating 6 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Known as Buey in Spain, Ox is the steak that everyone wants but few can get hold of. These beautiful animals are so rare and special due to their size, they can reach over 2,000Kg in weight! Oxen are male cows that have been castrated with less than one year, to reduce their level of testosterone, so they become more docile and easier to control. To breed an animal for 8 years that does not produce milk or calves or helps in farming activities means a remarkably high cost to any farmer. Ox meat is highly regarded in Spain due to the level of fat infiltration and mellowness its beef produces. Our ox steaks are from the Minhota breed from the Northwest of Portugal, from the rich lands of the MiƱo River. Our ox is bred for over 8 years before dry ageing the loins for over 80 days to produce the finest piece of steak you will ever experience.

if you like dry-aged steaks this is definitely something to try. it's a bit expensive but definitely worth trying at least once in a lifetime. Due to the long aging, it has lost quite a lot of moisture, but the meat is super tender, flavourful with a long lasting taste and a the softest fat that just melts in the mouth. this is going to be a steak that I will remember for quite some time, and for sure it will be a benchmark for all other steaks.

Living in Spain as I did for over seven years, to be able to purchase and taste the amazing Minhota Ox Steak ( Buey ) again is a trip back to my past in Spain. I recommend anyone who is a steak lover to experience the stunning meat. Regards David Ronson ( retired 2 star Michelin chef)

A fabulous piece of meat. Great flavour and as tender as one could want. Believe the hype as you will want this.

This is simply next level...as good as it gets. This is all about flavour, without doubt the best steak I have ever had.

The steak was rich and probably one of the best I have ever had. 4x as only 1kg rather than 1.2kg as advertised which is disappointing at this price.

A unique tasting experience from a unique piece of meat. This Minhota ox tastes of creamy grass with a strong beef flavour running through making it a once in lifetime experience
