Swaledale beef, sourced from small farms across the Yorkshire Dales, comes from grass-fed heritage breed cattle given the time to grow slowly to maturity on lush green pasture. To achieve outstanding flavour, we dry age the beef on the bone for over 28 days in our Himalayan salt chamber, allowing it to tenderise naturally and the flavour to concentrate.

1. Remove the steak from the fridge, take it out of the packaging, pat it dry with kitchen paper, and place it on a plate to come to room temperature.
2. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
3. Brush the steak with a neutral oil with a high smoke point, then season generously with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper.
4. Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan until smoking hot.
5. Stand the steak upright, fat side down — you may need to hold it in place — and let the fat slowly render, lowering the heat if needed to prevent burning.
6. After about 5 minutes, increase the heat and lay the steak flat. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, moving it gently in the pan.
7. Flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side.
8. Add a large knob of butter, a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme, and a crushed garlic clove. As the butter foams and browns, baste the steak with a spoon.
9. Flip the steak and baste the other side. Repeat this process twice more.
10. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 4–5 minutes.
11. Remove from the oven and leave to rest somewhere warm for at least 10 minutes.
12. Carve the meat away from the bone, slice, and serve.

T-bone Steak: Heritage Breed Beef from Yorkshire
All Swaledale beef is heritage breed, raised on independent farms and smallholdings across the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Our cattle are slow grown and free to roam on the lush green hills and valleys, feeding on a natural diet of wild grasses, herbs, and flowers. This traditional, sustainable approach produces exceptional beef with deep umami flavour — rich, dense, and wonderfully satisfying.

A Swaledale T-bone steak offers the best of both worlds: the tenderness of fillet on one side of the bone, and the full-flavoured sirloin on the other. Expertly butchered to order by our skilled team, each steak is vacuum packed for freshness, ensuring it arrives safely insulated and ready to cook.

Always Fresh Never Frozen®, and shipped in fully recyclable packaging, our T-bone steak is perfect for a special occasion or an indulgent weekend meal.
