A hearty, classic choice for festive feasts
Hand-cut and traditionally matured for at least 35 days from grass-fed, naturally reared British Beef. A hearty, classic choice for family feasts.
Cooking guidelines from defrosted: remove all packaging and pat dry with kitchen paper. Allow 30 minutes for the meat to come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 250°C / fan 230°C / gas 9. Place the joint in a roasting tray. Season with salt and pepper. Add a little water to the tray to prevent smoking.
Sear meat for 15 minutes in the oven. Then reduce oven temperature to 190°C / fan 170°C / gas 5 and continue cooking for:
Rare: 10-12 minutes per 450g (internal temperature: 45-47°C)
Medium: 14-16 minutes per 450g (internal temperature: 55-60°C)
Well done: 20-22 minute per 450g (internal temperature: 65-70°C)
Once your joint is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven.
Place it on a board or platter, cover with foil and leave to rest for at least 20 minutes.
Cooking appliances vary in performance, these are guidelines only.
Low Temperature Cooking: Pre-heat oven and roasting tin to 80°C without the fan.
Pat meat dry with kitchen paper. Heat a frying pan on high. Add a little oil to the pan, or brush directly onto the meat. Sear the meat all over for 4-5 minutes in total. Place on the pre-heated tin and season with salt & pepper. Set the thermometer to 60°C and insert horizontally into the centre of the meat. Put into the oven until the thermometer alarm sounds (approx 180 - 195 minutes). When the thermometer beeps your meat is ready to serve straight away. There is no need to rest your meat as it has rested during the cooking process.

The steak as we know it, goes back to 15th century Italy, where they were cooked in open fires, and the first UK steakhouse, Simpson's Tavern, was opened in 1723 in London and is still on the go!
We were born in 1974 from a venture between Aberdeenshire Farmer, William Donald, and Master Butcher, John Stone of Russell Meats, we began serving the hospitality trade both in the UK and abroad, supplying the finest grass-fed beef to discerning hotels and restaurants, all over the world. Before long, we had a dream to deliver that same high-quality beef steak and other fine foods to homes just like yours all over Britain.
The 'Big Four' steaks, including Sirloin, Ribeye, Fillet and Rump have always been the most popular steaks in almost all restaurants and shops across the UK, but it's the quality, care, and craftsmanship that puts ours a cut above the rest. Just look at how many we have sold since 2020...
