Dry aged cote de boeuf Charra

Dry Aged Côte de Boeuf Charra
An impressive cut of meat that sets every meat lover’s heart racing: the dry aged Côte de Boeuf from the Charra breed. This côte is not only generous in size, but also rich in flavour. Thanks to the ageing process, the meat develops a deep, nutty taste and a buttery texture that melts in your mouth. A true showstopper for the BBQ or the pan, exceeding all expectations in both looks and taste.
What is a Côte de Boeuf?
Côte de Boeuf, also known as a bone-in rib steak, is a classic cut taken from the rib section of the cow. It’s essentially a ribeye on the bone, which adds even more flavour during cooking. This cut is often chosen by connoisseurs who enjoy a satisfying bite, intense beef flavour and bold presentation. The bone helps the meat retain its juiciness and richness when grilled. The dry aging then takes it a step further: as the meat loses moisture, the flavour intensifies, while natural enzymes tenderise the muscle fibres. The result is a bold, powerful and perfectly balanced piece of meat with a subtle nutty undertone.
Charra: beef with character from Salamanca
Robust Charra cattle from the Spanish region of Salamanca are known for their strong character and unique flavour. Charra is an exclusive Spanish breed, and certainly not something you'll find just anywhere. The Charra beef at The Butchery comes straight from Spain and is flash-frozen within the hour to ensure maximum freshness. We call that quickfrozen. We work directly with top-tier Spanish suppliers and select only the finest quality meat.
