WHAT IS A RUBIA GALLEGA T-BONE STEAK?

Our Rubia Gallega T-Bone steaks are cut through and left on the bone to feature both sirloin and fillet with maximum flavour and exquisite tenderness. Ideal for a big feast, this is one of the most prized cuts and requires skill to prepare neatly. Ours are sourced exclusively from Rubia Gallega herds for optimum marbling and depth of flavour. The beef graze on the meadows of Galicia for up to 8-12 years where they grow big and fat and put on layers of marbled fat. This gives the beef an extraordinary flavour, an intense beefy-ness and succulence brought about by the high marbling of the meat. The consensus used to be that old means tough, but this beef is dry aged which not only further intensifies the flavour but also tenderises the meat.

HOW LONG IS RUBIA GALLEGA T-BONE STEAK AGED FOR?

This beef is dry aged for 45 days from cattle up to 8-12 years

HOW TO COOK RUBIA GALLEGA T-BONE STEAK?

T-Bone steaks are traditionally cooked over charcoal however, it will cook beautifully on a plancha or on a cast iron griddle or pan – something heavy that will hold the heat evenly. The important thing to remember is that Rubia Gallega beef has sufficient fat within each steak and so just needs a light the greasing of the pan. Lightly salt the t-bone steak on each side for 30 minutes before cooking to bring out a film of moisture which helps in the creation of a savoury crust on the steak. Get to a medium-high heat sear on each side for 6 minutes. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes on a warm plate, thinly slice and then further salt. Traditionally eaten with a crisp green salad and chips.
