Our Black Label Côte de Boeuf is the ultimate centrepiece for any special occasion or luxurious meal. This bone-in rib steak, known for its impressive presentation and robust flavour, is expertly cut from prime beef and dry-aged to perfection. The result is a steak with unparalleled tenderness, rich marbling, and a depth of flavour that is second to none.

The bone enhances the cooking process, imparting even more flavour as it retains heat and moisture, ensuring a juicy and tender finish. Dry-aging further intensifies its natural beefy richness and creates a melt-in-the-mouth texture that steak aficionados will adore.

Perfect for sharing or as a statement dish, the Côte de Boeuf is best cooked with care—seared on a high heat to develop a caramelised crust, then finished in the oven or on the barbecue to your preferred doneness. Resting it allows the juices to redistribute, guaranteeing every bite is succulent and flavourful.

Whether served with a rich red wine reduction, a fresh chimichurri, or a classic Béarnaise sauce, our Black Label Côte de Boeuf elevates any meal to a gourmet experience. Its generous size and stunning appearance make it the perfect steak to impress guests or indulge in an unforgettable treat for yourself.

Cooking Methods for Steak

Here’s how to cook the perfect ribeye steak using four popular methods: grilled, barbecued, air-fried, or pan-fried.

Grilled 

1. Prepare the Steak: Take your ribeye out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with kitchen paper and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high (about 200–250°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
3. Cook the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust based on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 52°C for rare, 57°C for medium-rare, and 63°C for medium.
4. Rest the Steak: Remove from the grill and rest under foil for 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.

Barbecued 

1. Prepare the BBQ: Light your barbecue and set it up for direct heat, aiming for a high temperature (200–250°C).
2. Prepare the Steak: Bring the steak to room temperature and season with your preferred rub or a simple mix of salt and pepper. Brush lightly with olive oil.
3. Cook the Steak: Place the steak directly over the hot coals or flame and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, flipping only once. For an added smoky flavour, add a chunk of wood or a handful of soaked wood chips to the coals.
4. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a board and cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes before serving.

Air-Fried 

1. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and any additional spices or herbs you enjoy. A drizzle of olive oil helps with browning.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes.
3. Cook the Steak: Place the ribeye in the basket, ensuring it isn’t overcrowded. Cook for 7–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check the internal temperature to ensure your desired doneness: 52°C for rare, 57°C for medium-rare, and 63°C for medium.
4. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pan-Fried 

1. Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and pat it dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a heavy-based frying pan or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of oil with a high smoke point (like vegetable or sunflower oil).
3. Cook the Steak: Place the steak in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, pressing lightly to ensure full contact with the pan. Add a knob of butter, crushed garlic, and fresh thyme to the pan for extra flavour. Spoon the melted butter over the steak as it cooks.
4. Rest the Steak: Transfer the steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for All Methods

• Resting Time: Always rest your steak after cooking to lock in the juices.
• Doneness Temperatures: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 52°C (rare), 57°C (medium-rare), 63°C (medium).
• Flavour Boost: Add a pat of butter and fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme while the steak rests.

Serve your ribeye with your favourite sides, and enjoy the perfect combination of flavour, tenderness, and juiciness!
