Frequently Asked Questions
What is ex-dairy ribeye steak?
Ex-dairy ribeye comes from cows that have previously been used for milk production. After their dairy career ends, they're moved to pasture to rest and graze naturally on grass. This extended lifespan — typically 5+ years — produces a ribeye with a deeper, more complex flavour and distinctive golden fat that you simply won't find in younger beef.
How does ex-dairy ribeye differ from standard grass fed ribeye?
Both come from grass-fed native British cattle, but the key difference is age. Standard grass-fed ribeye comes from cattle typically 20-30 months old. Our ex-dairy ribeye comes from cattle aged 5+ years, producing a firmer texture, more intense umami flavour, and a distinctive golden fat. It's a completely different eating experience — bolder, richer, more complex.
How do I cook an ex-dairy ribeye?
Bring to room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Season generously with sea salt — the flavour needs nothing else. Sear in a very hot cast iron pan with beef dripping — 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Render the fat cap on its side briefly. Rest for at least 5 minutes. Don't overcook — medium-rare showcases the aged flavour best.
Where does the beef come from?
From native grass-fed ex-dairy cattle sourced from small, independent UK farms. Every animal is over 5 years old and rested on pasture for a minimum of 12 months before slaughter, feeding exclusively on a natural grass diet.
