    Beyond the Ordinary: Wagyu, Galician & Gran Reserva

    At Thomas Joseph Butchery, everything we do starts with an obsession with sourcing. Beyond our grass-fed, dry-aged British beef sits a tier of cuts that operate on a different level entirely. This is where decades of animal husbandry, ancient breeds, extraordinary terroir and the art of dry-ageing converge into something that has to be tasted to be understood.

    "Just like a fine wine, the cattle continue to develop their flavour profile as they age — producing meat of exceptional depth and buttery richness that defies comparison."

    Range 01 — TJB Exclusive

    Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu: The Best Wagyu You Can Buy

    Developed in unison with a collective of the UK's most passionate Wagyu farmers, our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu is hand-selected from the top 1% of what comes through the door. Raised on lush British pastures across Yorkshire, Kent and Sussex.

    The Showstopper

    The Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu Tomahawk is the most dramatic expression of British Wagyu you can put on a plate. Extraordinary marbling runs through every millimetre, guaranteeing a juicy, intensely flavoured steak with that characteristic rich, buttery finish.

    The Classic

    The Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu Ribeye — the perfect balance of rich marbling, intense flavour and tender juiciness. Cook in a screaming hot pan rather than on the grill; Wagyu fat renders at a lower temperature than standard beef.

    The Best Roasting Joint We Do

    The Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu Bone-In Fore-Rib — Tom's own words: "Without question, this is the best beef roasting joint we do. A staple for every special occasion."

    🔥 TJB Wagyu Tip

    Wagyu fat melts at a lower temperature than standard beef. Lower your grill or pan temperature compared to what you'd use for a regular steak, and always rest Wagyu for longer than you think necessary.


    Range 02 — Gran Reserva

    Galician Beef: The "Spanish Wagyu" That Will Change How You Think About Steak

    Our Gran Reserva beef range — older cattle, raised for far longer than the UK norm, producing meat of extraordinary complexity.

    World Class

    The Dry-Aged Galician Ribeye Steak is sourced from Rubia Gallega cattle reared in the hills of Galicia, Northern Spain — animals raised for 8 to 12 years on pasture. The fat is golden-yellow, the marbling intricate, the flavour deep and complex in a way younger beef simply cannot replicate.

    Gran Reserva

    Our Gran Reserva range encompasses exceptional ex-dairy beef from the UK and across Europe — older, pasture-raised animals whose beef defies comparison with anything from the standard commercial supply chain.

    Hidden Gem

    The Dry-Aged Ex-Dairy Ribeye — ex-dairy cattle produce some of the most richly flavoured, marbled meat available. Dry-aged in-house and exceptional value. If you've never tried ex-dairy beef, this is the place to start.

    🔥 TJB Gran Reserva Tip

    Older beef with developed marbling rewards simple cooking above all else. Season generously with good flaky salt, cook to medium-rare, and resist the temptation to over-complicate it.
