Galician Prime Rib-Roast | Dry-Aged — The World's Greatest Roasting Joint
Our Dry-Aged Galician Prime Rib Roast is a centrepiece like no other. Taken from the 8 prime bones on the beast, the prime rib-roast joint runs from the chuck-end ribeye to meet the wing rib — what we in the trade call the very best section on the carcass. With golden fat, exceptional marbling and a naturally rich flavour, this is a beef roasting joint unlike any other.
Galician Beef has fast become a staple at Thomas Joseph. If you want the best roasting joint there is — and maybe ever will be — this is for you.
Sourced from Rubia Gallega cattle reared on pasture in Galicia, Northern Spain, the cattle mature slowly on lush pastures — dry-aged in-house and prepared by our expert butchery team. These cattle live up to five times longer than conventional UK herds, maturing naturally over 8–12 years to produce meat with extraordinary flavour and unmistakable quality. Please note the product may vary slightly depending on which end of the prime rib you receive, but rest assured it is all taken from the 8-bone section.

Galician beef is often described as "Spanish Wagyu" — and with good reason. The marbling, golden fat and mature character of this prime rib make it the ideal choice for anyone seeking a world-class roasting joint.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many does the Galician Prime Rib-Roast serve?
As a guide: a single bone (approx 2kg) serves 3-4 people, a 2-bone joint (approx 4kg) serves 6-8, a 3-bone joint (approx 6kg) serves 10-12. The golden Galician fat means the joint is exceptionally self-basting — it stays moist and succulent throughout the cook.
How do I cook the Galician Prime Rib-Roast?
Bring to room temperature for at least 1-2 hours. Season generously with sea salt only. Roast at 220°C for 20-25 minutes to develop a crust, then reduce to 160°C — approximately 15 minutes per 500g for medium-rare. Rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. Use a meat thermometer: 52-55°C internal for medium-rare. The golden fat will render throughout and baste the joint magnificently.
What's the difference between the Prime Rib and the Prime Rib-Roast?
The Galician Prime Rib is a thick-cut bone-in steak — designed for pan-searing or grilling. The Prime Rib-Roast is a larger bone-in joint from the same section, designed for slow roasting in the oven. The roast is French-trimmed with the rib cap removed for a cleaner presentation and pure steak meat throughout.
Where does the beef come from?
From Rubia Gallega cattle raised in the hills of Galicia, Northern Spain — matured for 8-12 years on natural pasture. Dry-aged in-house at TJB to concentrate flavour and perfect texture.
