Rib of Beef (On the Bone)

from £112.50

The king of roasts. A fore rib of British beef, dry aged in our Himalayan salt chamber and left on the bone for the deepest flavour. Rich marbling, a cap of fat that crisps as it roasts, and the bones to stand it on. A proper centrepiece for Christmas, or any Sunday that deserves it. Prices are for the approximate weights shown.

How to cook

  • Take it out of the fridge an hour before cooking and season generously all over with fine salt.

  • Reverse sear in a low oven at 90°C until the centre reaches 47 to 49°C. Allow roughly an hour per kg, but go by a probe. A four-bone rib takes about 3¾ hours.

  • Rest it under loose foil for up to an hour. At this low temperature it only rises 2 or 3 degrees.

  • Turn the oven up as high as it goes. Mix melted beef fat (our Beef Dripping is perfect) with mustard powder, onion and garlic powder and a little paprika.

  • Sear the rib on all sides in a hot pan, smother it in the rub, and roast for 6 to 10 minutes. Rest briefly on a cold tray, then carve.
