Galician Prime Rib | Dry-Aged — Exceptional Flavour from Northern Spain
Our Dry-Aged Galician Prime Rib is sourced from Rubia Gallega cattle raised in the hills of Galicia, Northern Spain — a breed renowned for producing some of the most flavoursome beef in the world. Matured slowly over 8–12 years and finished on pasture, this beef develops deep, rich marbling, unctuous yellow fat and a complexity of flavour that is simply unmatched.
This is not your standard prime rib. With meat aged both naturally on the grass and then expertly dry-aged in-house, the result is a supremely rich, well-marbled rib with a characteristically nutty depth and extraordinary tenderness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Galician beef?
Galician beef comes from Rubia Gallega cattle — an ancient breed native to Galicia in Northwest Spain. These cattle are raised for 8–12 years on natural pasture, far longer than any conventional breed. The extended lifespan produces beef with extraordinary marbling, golden yellow fat and a complex, nutty flavour profile that has earned it the nickname "Spanish Wagyu."
How do I cook a Galician Prime Rib?
Bring to room temperature for at least 1 hour. Season generously with sea salt. Sear in a very hot pan or over direct flame — 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. The golden fat renders beautifully and self-bastes the meat. Rest for at least 8-10 minutes before carving. The complex flavour needs no seasoning beyond salt — don't overpower it with sauces.
Why does Galician beef have yellow fat?
The distinctive golden yellow fat is a hallmark of cattle that have spent years grazing on fresh grass. The carotenoids in the grass — natural pigments found in plants — accumulate in the fat over time, giving it that characteristic yellow colour. It's a quality indicator: yellow fat means time on pasture and a natural diet.
Where does the beef come from?
From Rubia Gallega cattle raised in the hills of Galicia, Northern Spain. Sourced from trusted Spanish producers whose ethics and farming practices mirror our own — slow-grown on grass, haylage and silage over 8–12 years. Then dry-aged in-house at TJB to concentrate flavour and perfect the texture.
