Thornleys Creamy Cracked Peppercorn Sauce Mix (40g)

This steak is enriched considerably from a nugget of natural fat to keep the meat succulent, while it promises a full flavoured treat as the fat caramelises and tenderises the meat when cooked.The rib eye steak is taken from the rib primal of a beef animal, with the bone removed. It’s known as a butcher’s cut, because traditionally the butcher would reserve certain tasty cuts for himself, the rib eye being one of them. As it comes from the upper rib cage, the muscles are underused with more fat, promising a tender and flavoursome steak.
