The timeless classic bone-in rib-eye steak, renowned for its exceptional flavour from natural marbling and the added depth of being matured on the bone. This impressive cut boasts rich, buttery tenderness with intense beefy taste in every succulent bite, thanks to generous fat marbling that renders beautifully during cooking for unbeatable juiciness and depth.
Sourced from the finest UK, EU, and selected origin beef, prepared with the skill and tradition of our family butcher team, the Côte de Boeuf is the perfect sharing steak for carnivores and special occasions alike. Whether you're grilling for maximum char, pan-searing for a golden crust, or oven-finishing to perfection, it delivers restaurant-quality indulgence and dramatic presentation with effortless appeal. We wouldn’t judge if you wanted it all to yourself!
Available in generous size options from 450g–1050g – bone-in, thick-cut, and ready to impress (serves 1–3 depending on size).
Bring the steak to room temperature (about 1 hour out of the fridge) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with sea salt and black pepper (or rub with olive oil for extra crust and flavour).
Sear in a very hot pan or on a high-heat grill for a rich, caramelised crust (3-5 minutes per side), then finish in a preheated oven at around 180–200°C (fan 160–180°C) or via reverse sear until your preferred doneness (medium-rare highly recommended for optimal tenderness and flavour). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 10-15 minutes (or longer for larger sizes) before carving – this lets the juices redistribute for incredibly tender, flavourful results.
Carve thickly against the grain, serving portions off the bone for easy sharing.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply seasoned to let the natural marbling and matured-on-the-bone richness shine, or elevate with classic Bearnaise sauce, garlic herb butter, or one of our flavoured butters for the ultimate indulgent experience.
