Whether you’re a seasoned carnivore, a weekend grill master, or someone who simply loves great food, this steak delivers an unforgettable eating experience.

Let’s break down why this bone-in ribeye is truly a cut above the rest. 🐂🔥

🌿 What Makes Free Rein Beef Exceptional

Before we dive into the steak itself, it’s important to understand the origins of the meat:

🇦🇺 100% Australian Beef

• Sourced from wide-open Australian pastures where cattle are raised with plenty of space to roam and graze naturally.

• MSA graded — meaning eating quality is independently assessed to ensure tenderness, flavour, and juiciness. 

This natural approach to cattle rearing gives Free Rein beef a flavour profile that’s both deeply savory and clean-tasting — perfect for premium cuts like ribeye. 🌾🐄

🍖 What Is a Bone-In Ribeye?

The ribeye is one of the most coveted beef cuts in the world — prized for its intense marbling, incredible flavour, and juicy texture. When left bone-in, this steak becomes even more flavourful:

✔ Bone adds flavour: The bone conducts heat and releases marrow-rich juices deep into the meat while cooking.
✔ Marbling melts to perfection: Intramuscular fat melts into the steak, creating an exceptionally juicy bite.
✔ Balanced texture: Rich fat, tender muscle, and the bone itself deliver a multidimensional mouthfeel. 

This cut is an all-time favourite for carnivores, foodies, and anyone craving a restaurant-grade steak at home. 🍽️🤤

🔥 Oven-Prepared Perfection

While ribeye is often grilled, Free Rein’s Oven-Prepared Ribeye (Bone-In) takes the cooking experience to another level. Oven preparation offers:

🍽️ Even Cooking

An oven ensures that the steak cooks evenly from edge to centre, gently rising to your desired doneness without overcooking the exterior. This method is perfect for:

• Medium-rare perfection, with a beautifully caramelised crust and rosy centre

• Juicy tenderness, thanks to slow, consistent heat

• Bold flavours, as aromatics and seasonings permeate the meat

👨🍳 Minimal Effort, Maximum Reward

Oven-preparing ribeye is ideal for both home cooks and seasoned chefs alike. Simply:

1. Preheat your oven

2. Season the steak generously

3. Sear first in a hot pan (optional)

4. Transfer to the oven until desired doneness

5. Rest before slicing

This method locks in juices and ensures every bite is tender and full-flavoured. 🍷🥩

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓ What makes bone-in ribeye better than boneless?

Bone-in ribeye offers deeper flavour thanks to the bone marrow infusing juices during cooking. It also enhances heat distribution, resulting in juicier meat with more character. 

❓ Should I sear before or after oven cooking?

Searing before locks in flavour and texture, while reverse sear (after slower oven cooking) gives an even juicier centre with a perfect crust.

❓ How thick is this ribeye?

Free Rein ribeyes are typically steakhouse-thick, making them ideal for both oven and grill cooking — ensuring a generous serving every time. (Based on standard bone-in ribeye steak characteristics.) 

❓ Does the bone affect cooking time?

Yes — the bone slows heat penetration slightly, but it makes the steak juicier and more flavourful. Adjust cook times accordingly for perfect doneness.
