Organic Beef LMC
A traditional slow cook cut perfect for the slow cooker
Let's clear this up: while this might be called a 'leg of mutton cut' it's definitely beef and has nothing at all to do with mutton. Taken from the outside of the shoulder, organic beef LMC when trimmed and tied does bear a resemblance to a leg of lamb, which is presumably how the name arose. It's an old-fashioned joint, rarely seen these days, mainly because it's more usually turned into mince or stewing steak. But it's delicious when cooked slowly and is so full of character and we think it deserves more attention. Why not try our traditional recipe Pot roast with ale and onion gravy?
Living active, free-range lives, our organic grass-fed beef is a nutrient-dense food. We farm our cattle in harmony with nature, grazing livestock in turn helps to regenerate the health of our soil.
Minimum Shelf Life: 9 Days

Organic beef LMC is a lean cut comprising a collection of shoulder muscles and their connective tissue. Coming from the shoulder of a slow-grown animal that has free ranged on grass means these muscles are well exercised and mature. But that maturity doesn't mean toughness or dryness, it means rounded flavour and exceptional yielding texture when cooked at leisure. As an added bonus, this is a really thrifty joint that will go far in feeding a crowd.

To make the most of the leg of mutton cut, slow cook in rich beef stock with simple salt-and-pepper seasoning, fresh woody herbs like rosemary or thyme and some root veg for at least an hour and a half – longer if you have time. During cooking the gelatinous tissues and sinews will melt away into the gravy, thickening, enriching and flavouring it. Once cooked the meat will be tender succulent and almost flaky.
