Experience one of Australia’s most respected expressions of grass-fed beef with the Cape Grim Rib Eye, sourced from the remote, windswept pastures of North West Tasmania. Raised on open grasslands with no added hormones, no antibiotics and no grain finishing, Cape Grim cattle produce beef that is clean, vibrant and deeply satisfying.
Supplied as a full rib eye rack, this cut gives you complete control over how you prepare and portion your beef. From thick cut steaks to tomahawks or an impressive whole rack roast, the Cape Grim Rib Eye delivers exceptional versatility while maintaining the unmistakable purity Cape Grim is known for worldwide.
Each order includes four individual rib eye racks, each sealed in high-quality cryovac packaging to protect freshness, extend shelf life and preserve eating quality from delivery to plate.
What Makes Cape Grim Beef Unique
Cape Grim is globally recognised for producing some of the cleanest grass-fed beef in the world. Cattle graze exclusively on natural pastures shaped by cool climate conditions, ocean air and nutrient-rich soils, creating beef with exceptional clarity of flavour and natural tenderness.
This unique environment delivers beef that is naturally leaner than grain-fed alternatives, yet still offers impressive marbling for a grass-fed product. The result is a rib eye that feels refined rather than heavy, rich without being overpowering.
Cape Grim cattle are raised without added hormones or antibiotics, supporting animal welfare, environmental sustainability and a truly natural eating experience.
Understanding the Rib Eye Rack
The rib eye is cut from the rib section of the animal and is prized for its balance of flavour, tenderness and juiciness. Supplied as a full rack, this cut retains the bone, which enhances flavour development and moisture retention during cooking.
A full rack allows total flexibility in the kitchen. You can slice to your preferred thickness, choose your cooking method, and tailor each meal to suit the occasion.
Bone-in structure also provides visual impact, making this cut ideal for both everyday cooking and special events.
Taste Profile and Texture
Cape Grim Rib Eye offers a flavour profile that reflects its grass-fed origins in every bite. Expect a clean, bold beef flavour with natural depth and no artificial aftertaste. The marbling melts gently during cooking, delivering juiciness without heaviness.
The texture is firm yet tender, with a satisfying bite that softens beautifully when cooked correctly. The bone contributes additional richness, creating a well-rounded mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly.
This is grass-fed beef that rivals premium grain-fed categories in tenderness while offering a purer, more authentic flavour.
Cooking Methods That Shine
This cut performs exceptionally well across a wide range of techniques, making it one of the most versatile premium beef options available.
-
Whole rack roasting: Allows for an impressive centrepiece. Roast low and slow to medium rare, finish with high heat for a caramelised crust, then rest before carving thick slices.
-
Steak cutting: Lets you customise thickness. Rib eye steaks, tomahawk cuts or extra-thick reverse-sear steaks all work beautifully.
-
High heat grilling and BBQ cooking: Create a bold crust while keeping the interior juicy and tender.
-
Smoking: Enhances the natural grass-fed aroma without overpowering the beef, especially when finished over direct heat.
