Organic Beef Rib Eye Steak
An irresistible steak, marbled to perfection
At Coombe Farm Organic we're immensely proud of the quality of our organic rib eye steak – it's a Taste of the West Gold Award winner! Beef steak lovers have, in recent times, become increasingly aware and appreciative of the rib eye's unique combination of tender, tasty meat and generous marbling. It needs little more than a pinch of seasoning upon cooking to really draw out the distinctive and robust flavour.

Coombe Farm Organic's rib eye steaks are taken from the fore rib of the beef carcass. This is deservedly one of the most prized beef cuts – indulgent and smooth-grained with a buttery texture and sweet melting fat that translates directly to flavour. Because all of our beef cattle are slow grown for over two years, their muscles have time to mature naturally and they lay down meat beautifully marbled with fat. To maximise the distinctive flavour and succulence of meat grown this way we hang the carcasses for 3 weeks. This allows the muscles to relax and some moisture to evaporate so you get a steak that's the very best it can be.

-
Our products are sent to our customers frozen because when we started the business we looked into convenience for our customers. We found that sending the produce frozen meant that they could order for instance a month’s worth of produce and could go into their freezer until they are ready to use it. It also meant that there was less risk to the meat whilst been delivered as fresh meat can be delicate and risky.
-
All of our meat is butchered in house. In December 2018 our in-house butcher was built which means that we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.
You will find all the ingredients on the relevant product pages.
-
We have a dedicated page which explains all the different cuts and where they come from. Find out more here www.coombefarmorganic.co.uk

Simplicity is key when it comes to cooking your rib eye. Rare or medium rare is best, so rub a little oil onto each side of the steak, flavour with a little sea salt (Cornish is delicious) and fry in a very hot pan or griddle for a minute or two per side. Rest the meat for 5 to 10 minutes wrapped in foil before serving with crunchy chips and garlic mayo spiked with lemon and herbs.

Even before they were defrosted and removed from their vacuum packs, I could see that these were not steaks I'd have selected myself. They were unevenly cut and particularly thin in places—not ideal for a perfectly medium-rare cook. Once out of the packaging, they pretty much fell apart. We cooked them quickly over a fierce open flame and did manage to get a good char on the outside and a medium-rare finish. The finished product was fine, but nothing to write home about.

Not as good as I expected for the price. Waitrose do a 30 day aged ribeye which is cheaper and tastes better. I just expected this to be so much better Not as good as I expected for the price.

Tasty and tender beef even though I over cooked it a touch. Good sized portion. Much nicer than comparable supermarket product. Tasty and tender beef even though I over cooked it a touch. Good sized portion. Much nicer than comparable supermarket product.

The steak bore an uncanny resemblance to a rouged Isle of Man but buttressed with a cushion of fat that reminded me of the chalk cliffs of the south of England.

The steak bore an uncanny resemblance to a rouged Isle of Man but buttressed with a cushion of fat that reminded me of the chalk cliffs of the south of England. Going into the pan it gave the heavy, dense slap of ginger baker punching the foot pedal and this was followed by the cymbal fizz of protein under heat assault. In the mouth it had the texture of a John Bull cow fed on Japanese beer that had spent time in the pasture pulling obscure calisthenics and some kind of Bovine Tai Chi usually only located in mountain monasteries near the Tibetan border. It tasted of authenticity and hard work; untouched by supermarket talons, unmeasured by the gothic horror of their endless spreadsheets. I would buy it again.
