Beef Hammer Rubia Gallega

The Beef Hammer from Rubia Gallega is a true showstopper, whether it’s on the table or sizzling on the barbecue. Cut from the upper leg of the cow, this impressive cut features a large bone that resembles the head of a hammer, hence the name. The meat surrounding it is rich, robust, and full of flavour. Known for its deep, distinctive taste, Rubia Gallega truly shines in this cut. The key to unlocking its full potential is low and slow cooking, think hours of gentle heat in the oven, smoker or BBQ, rewarding you with buttery soft meat that nearly falls off the bone.

What is a Beef Hammer?

A beef hammer is a large cut from the cow’s shank or upper leg, with the bone cut extra long for dramatic presentation. The combination of meat, bone and connective tissue makes it ideal for slow cooking at low temperatures. As it cooks, the connective tissue gradually breaks down, turning the meat tender while retaining its rich, beefy flavour. Visually striking and packed with flavour, it's the perfect centrepiece for a dinner party or barbecue. Typically cooked low and slow, it’s often finished with a quick grill or torch to create a crispy outer crust.

Rubia Gallega, flavourful Spanish beef

Rubia Gallega is a prized beef breed from Galicia in northern Spain, celebrated for its spicy depth of flavour, beautiful marbling and deep red colour. The cattle roam freely in the mountains and meadows for years, feeding on grass, herbs and root vegetables. They are only slaughtered after two to seven years, which results in a mature, full-bodied flavour that is truly one of a kind. The meat has a firm texture and intense character. Rubia Gallega is praised by top chefs across Europe and is quickly gaining popularity among discerning meat lovers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
