Our ribs of beef are hand-picked to be dry-aged for absolutely second to none results! Each select cut contains the perfect fat covering and marbling throughout the meat to provide you and your family with an unrivalled beef roasting joint.
Our master butcher's top selection! Rib meat is far and away his favourite!
Choose from the following options:
Bring the joint to room temperature (2-3 hours out of the fridge for larger sizes) for even cooking. · Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and optional herbs (e.g., rosemary, garlic, thyme) rubbed into the fat cap for extra flavour and crust.
Preheat oven to 220-240°C (fan 200-220°C / Gas 8-9) for initial high-heat sear. Place the joint bone-side down on a trivet of vegetables (onions, carrots, celery) in a roasting tin to elevate and add aroma. Roast uncovered for 20-30 minutes to develop a deep golden crust, then reduce to 160-180°C (fan 140-160°C / Gas 3-4) and continue low and slow: allow 12-15 minutes per 500g plus 15-20 minutes for rare/medium-rare (or adjust for doneness, use a meat thermometer: target 50-55°C internal for rare, 60-65°C for medium). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 30-45 minutes (or longer for larger joints) before carving, this essential step redistributes the juices for incredibly tender, flavourful slices.
Carve thinly against the grain, serving portions off the bone for easy sharing (the bones add immense flavour during roasting).
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply with the natural richness and dry-aged depth shining through, accompanied by roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, horseradish, and rich gravy, elevate with a red wine jus, mustard, or classic accompaniments for the ultimate Christmas roast experience.
