Galician Ribeye | Rubia Gallega Breed, Dry-Aged — World-Class Steak from Northern Spain
Our Dry-Aged Galician Ribeye offers an outstanding example of one of the world's most sought-after cuts. Sourced from Rubia Gallega cattle reared in the hills of Galicia, Northern Spain, this ribeye is dry-aged both in Spain and in-house at TJB to concentrate its signature depth of flavour. With nothing but pure steak meat, it's a cut that exemplifies the quality of slow-grown, pasture-raised beef.
The cattle are raised for 8–12 years on pasture, allowing the beef to develop its distinctive golden fat, intricate marbling and deep, rich flavour. Often referred to as "Galician Blond" beef — and sometimes described as "Spanish Wagyu" — the Galician ribeye boasts unctuous golden fat, denoting the length of time spent on pasture eating natural sources of food: grasses, haylage and home-made silage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Galician ribeye different from standard ribeye?
Standard ribeye comes from cattle aged 20-30 months. Our Galician ribeye comes from Rubia Gallega cattle aged 8-12 years — up to five times longer. This produces significantly more intramuscular marbling, distinctive golden fat and a nutty, complex flavour profile that standard ribeye simply cannot replicate. It's a completely different eating experience.
How do I cook a Galician ribeye?
Bring to room temperature for 45 minutes. Season with sea salt only — the flavour is already exceptional. Sear in a very hot cast iron pan with a small amount of butter or beef dripping — 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. The golden fat renders beautifully. Rest for at least 5-8 minutes. Don't overcook — the complex flavour shines at medium-rare.
What is Rubia Gallega?
Rubia Gallega (meaning "Galician Blonde") is an ancient Spanish cattle breed native to Galicia in Northwest Spain. It's one of the oldest and most prized beef breeds in Europe — known for its slow growth, extreme longevity and ability to produce exceptionally marbled beef with distinctive golden fat. The breed has seen a major revival in recent years as the world has discovered the quality of mature beef.
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. Dry-aged both in Spain and in-house at TJB to concentrate flavour and perfect texture.
