The Best Of British Beef

Beef is the nation’s favourite meat and we agree! This British Beef Week, we’d like to showcase our favourite economical organic cuts that not only taste great but also offer fantastic value for money.

Osso Buco

An italian delicacy, osso buco are lateral cuts through the leg taken from the shank of the beef carcass. They combine a number of muscle groups with the central bone, filled with marrow. Veins of marbling and the muscles' connective tissues melt away on slow cooking, whilst the central bone, filled with marrow adds an unctuous richness. 

Try our Classic Milanese Osso Buco Beef recipe and serve with a traditional Italian risotto.
 

Beef Short Ribs

Move over pork, there is a new rib in town. Our beef short ribs are a short chunky rib layered with thick marbled meat and soft melting fat that suits either a low, slow cook or a quick turn over a barbecue grill.  They work perfectly with a marinade, like in our sticky Asian beef short ribs recipe.
 

Organic Beef Every Day Steak

Why shouldn’t you enjoy steak every day?  This lean, flavoursome steak is cut from the topside roasting joint for an economical yet tasty treat.

The topside is a substantial muscle positioned at the top of the hind leg of our active and free range cattle. This free roaming activity results in lean meat with fine marbling, deep, robust flavour and an open-grained texture with plenty of bite. Follow our tips for cooking the perfect steak here.
 

Organic ox cheek

A cut that you won’t find in the supermarket, our organic ox cheek is a must-try cut for lovers of intensely flavoured and tender grass-fed beef. The cheek is a muscle that's done a lot of work making it full-flavoured and robust, but falls apart when cooked slowly and delicately. Try braised ox cheeks, slow cooked in red wine and served with buttery mash.
 

Organic beef LMC

A cut made for pot roasting, our organic beef ‘leg of mutton’ is an old fashioned joint that we believe deserves more attention. Taken from the outside of the shoulder, the meat is delicious and full of character for a slow roast. A fabulous alternative to the more expensive joints, try it cooked traditionally with our Pot roast with ale and onion gravy recipe.
