Our rib of beef is a premium French-trimmed beef roasting joint, aged on the bone for depth of flavour and prepared by our butchers for an impressive finish.

Cut from the fore-rib, this is one of the most prized beef roasting joints. The chine bone is removed, excess fat is trimmed, and the ribs are French trimmed for a clean, classic presentation.

Richly marbled and full of flavour, rib of beef roasts beautifully and delivers tender, juicy slices with a deep savoury finish. It is a proper centrepiece joint for Sunday roasts, Christmas, family gatherings and special occasions.

Available as a 2 bone joint, around 3kg, or a 4 bone joint, around 6kg.

Hand-prepared by our butchers, so weight may vary slightly.

Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Rib of Beef

Remove the rib of beef from the packaging and allow it to sit at room temperature for around 30 to 60 minutes before cooking.

For extra flavour, sear the joint on all sides in a very hot pan before roasting. Place uncovered in a roasting tin, season well, and roast in the centre of a preheated oven at 180°C, 160°C fan, Gas Mark 4.

As a guide, cook for around 20 minutes per 500g plus 20 minutes for rare, 25 minutes per 500g plus 25 minutes for medium, or 30 minutes per 500g plus 30 minutes for well done. Rest well before carving.
