What is Côte de boeuf?

Côte de boeuf a beautiful piece of beef rib steak, from the rib section of the beef. It is a tender, veined piece of meat and owes its flavor to the fact that it is ripened and prepared on the bone.

What is dry aged Côte de boeuf?

When the côte de boeuf has had dry ripening, we speak of the so-called 'dry-aged' method. During this ripening process, the Côte de boeuf loses moisture, resulting in a more intense flavor and a more tender structure.

What is the difference between sirloin steak and Côte de boeuf?

Entrecote and côte de boeuf both come from the ribs of beef. A sirloin steak comes from the thin loin and has a small fat edge. Côte de boeuf comes from the last six ribs of the beef, also called rib rack. The meat is softer than that of the loin. This is because the front of the cattle is often less muscular. The clear fat structure in the meat also provides more flavor. Côte de boeuf is usually larger and thicker than sirloin steak and is often served for sharing.
