How to cook it
- Give it a full hour out of the fridge.
- Get the barbecue (US: grill) or a heavy pan as hot as it will go and salt with coarse salt as the steak goes on.
- Sear both faces until dark, then stand the steak on its fat edge so the yellow fat renders and crisps.
- Old cow is at its best rare, 50–52 °C (122–126 °F), or medium-rare, 54–57 °C (129–135 °F).
- Rest for five to ten minutes, cut the meat off the bone in one piece and slice it across. Roast peppers or potatoes on the side.
Questions about the cow chuletón
Why mature cow instead of young beef?
For the flavour. Meat from a cow over 48 months is darker and tastes deeper than yearling beef, which is mild and pale red. The chuletón page compares the ages in a table.
The fat is yellow. Is something wrong?
No. Yellow fat is what a mature cow looks like.
Is this the same meat as a ribeye?
Yes, with the bone in and cut much thicker. Without the bone the Spanish name is entrecot; see ribeye steak in Spain.
Goes well with
The milder yearling chuletón, the same cow as tomahawk or T-bone, or the chuletón box.
