Beef Forerib
£ 67.50 – £ 262.50
The Beef Forerib is the classic 4 or 5 bone beef rib roasting joint. In the USA it is the prime rib. In the UK it is our standing rib roast. At Northfield, we mature and dry age our whole grass-fed foreribs on the bone for a number of weeks, before trimming and cutting.
We leave the upright rib bones attached, removing the chine bone. This allows the joint to stand and self-baste while cooking, but also makes carving a joy once the meat has cooked and rested.
The whole forerib of beef can be transformed into the perfect party centre piece. If your budget allows, we would always recommend buying a bigger joint than you need. Like all proper dry aged grass fed Northfield Farm Beef, the meat of the Forerib roast can be even better the following day, cold!
Ample marbled Fat running through the joint keeps moist during cooking and intensifies flavour of the luscious ruby-red meat. It is a joint that lends itself to being cooked rare to medium.
The outer muscle and both edges will caramelise and darken for those who prefer their meat well done. The rib eye at the centre of the joint stays pink, juicy and rare. With the outer cap of meat removed, but the rib-eye left on the bone it becomes a stunning Cote de Boeuf.

I used click & collect and was able to pick up my order at Borough market on Christmas Eve with no issues. The butcher also gave us cooking advice. We had an incredible meal from this cut! Excellent service & quality!

The meat was excellent but I took exception to Joe’s threatening letter about payment weeks before delivery. I know of no other butcher that charges before delivery.

PLEASE REPLY TO OUR COMMENT
I am a regular customer with you at your stall on Uppingham market and for this reason we chose you to supply our Christmas Day meat.
I consider the joint we had was the ‘second’ cut, of the end rib, and NOT forerib which I ordered on the telphone, for three reasons. Firstly the joint had the fillet running all the way through the two ribs, secondly because the finished meat was very grainy and quite firm to cut and thirdly due to its’ shape, significantly pyramid or cone shaped due to being in the last quarter of the beast. The top 5/6 ribs are quite even and produce a square-like joint. You can rest assured I cooked the meat to finish pink, if not a small amount of blood visible, as we like it. Nevertheless my family and I all commented and were quite disappointed with the meat.
I was surprised that you gave it to me shrink wrapped. I do not know why a prime cut ever gets near such a thing, and this was a first for me. Meat of this genre has to breath. This supposes me to think it had been frozen, hence contributing the the grainy texture.
I was too late to find a substitute, consequently we had to use the rib joint.

We ordered the fore rib of beef and it was perfectly packed and arrived on the date specified. The beef itself was stunning and tasted perfect.

Excellent piece of meat.

delicious and tender as it was a smaller rib might be easier to carve if it was off the bone and rolled, my mistake
