Why you will love our Grass-Fed Rib Of Beef on the bone...
- An iconic roasting joint
- Rich and full of flavour
- Grazed on our lush and varied Suffolk meadows
This is a great cut of meat for roasting, with its deep flavour, natural layer of covering fat and rich marbling. Roasting on the bone means that the outside layer of fat (or the ‘rib cap’) produces a fantastic crispy crust and will help baste your joint throughout cooking. This leaves the meat soft, juicy and tender.
All our beef comes from wonderful, small-scale Suffolk farms whose heritage breed cattle are left to roam freely on untouched pasture. We dry-hang our carcasses for up to eight weeks to produce the exceptional flavour and texture of our beef.
Rib of beef is best cooked medium to medium-rare, and it’s really important to leave the join to rest for at least 30 minutes after cooking. If you want to go the whole hog, cook your roasties in our dripping for that exceptional beefy flavour.

"A good gravy is non-negotiable for Rib of Beef. Add an onion, garlic and carrot to the tray when roasting to flavour the gravy juices"
Want to know more?
Our beef comes from trusted local Suffolk farms, carefully selected for their dedication to quality and sustainable practices. We work closely with farmers like Emily Winter, who slowly matures her 100% grass-fed Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Farm to produce exceptional beef, and the Somerleyton Estate, known for its regeneratively raised Welsh Black and Highland cattle. We are also proud to partner with Natasha Mann, whose award-winning Lincoln Reds graze by the River Alde’s lush meadows, yielding beautifully marbled, rich, and tender beef. Receiving whole carcasses allows us to hang the meat for 4 - 8 weeks (or more by request), ensuring superior flavour and texture.
> Roast and BBQ
1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC (fan oven, or equivalent).
2. Remove your rib of beef from the packaging and make sure your joint is nice and dry. Let the joint reach room temperature.
3. Rub some oil, Maldon Sea salt and some course ground black pepper over your joint.
4. Place some roughly chopped onion, carrot, celery and some garlic cloves (anything you think will make the gravy taste delicious) in a roasting tin – put your prepared joint on top.
5. We recommend cooking hot and fast initially, to caramelise the outer layer of fat and seal in the flavour so roast your rib joint at 220ºC for 15 to 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature down to 150-160ºC. Keep an eye on it though! Cook for approx. 15-20 minutes per 450-500g for a medium-rare finish
6. Don’t forget to baste the joint by spooning the juices produced in cooking, over the joint.
7. A meat thermometer reading of 53-55ºC is ideal for medium-rare, 49-51ºC, for rare and 57-59ºC for medium.
8. Once out of the oven rest uncovered for 5 minutes, allowing the steam to be released, then loosely cover with greaseproof paper and a tea towel. Leave to rest for 40-50 minutes.
9. Enjoy!
