The picanha in particular is a beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Galician beef eats the way it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubia Gallega — the Galician Blond — is the native breed of Galicia in the far north-west of Spain. What makes it extraordinary isn't the breed alone, it's the age. These are cows that have spent years grazing the Atlantic pasture of the region, and they aren't taken young. That length of life is what builds the deep, dense, almost mineral flavour that Galician beef is famous for, and it's what produces the golden fat that's the breed's signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meat comes out a deep, dark red — far darker than you'll be used to from younger cattle — and the flavour is genuinely on another level. Intensely beefy, long on the palate, with a richness that comes from the fat rather than from marbling alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe cuts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePicanha\u003c\/strong\u003e — the rump cap, capped with that famous golden fat. It's the cut Brazil built an entire fire-cooking tradition around, and on a Rubia Gallega carcass it's exceptional: the fat renders down and bastes the meat as it cooks. We supply it whole with the fat cap on and untrimmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRump steak\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most underrated steak in the business, and on Galician beef it's a revelation. All the flavour intensity of the breed, with a firmer, meatier chew than a sirloin. Cut thick, as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow we'd cook it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver charcoal.\u003c\/strong\u003e The traditional Galician way, and still the best.
