WHAT IS ORGANIC BEEF?
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. At The Organic Butchery, we select only the highest-quality cuts to deliver pure, distinctive flavour every time.
Ingredients
- 500g organic beef fillet
- 1 tbsp thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 pinch of salt
- juice from half a lemon
- olive oil
- 4 handfuls of rocket
- 20g parmesan shavings
Method
- Place the organic beef fillet in the freezer until it is half frozen
- After this time remove the beef fillet from the freezer, on a large chopping board scatter the organic dried thyme and crushed black pepper, roll the beef fillet into the seasoning until it is thoroughly covered. Using a very sharp knife, cut the beef into very thin slices. Place each slice of beef between two sheets of greaseproof paper and gently beat with a rolling pin to thin the pieces out even more. Place the slices of beef in the fridge until ready to serve
- Warm a griddle or skillet on the hob and dry fry the beef slices for 30 seconds on both sides. You are aiming to create a lovely crust whilst keeping the internal meat raw
- Place the rocket in a bowl and season with a little pepper, a pinch of salt, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon
- Dress your serving plates with the dressed rocket, the slices of carpaccio and finish with a scattering of parmesan shavings to serve

Frequently asked questions

Our cows live active, free-range lives and we farm them in harmony with nature - grazing livestock, in turn, helps to regenerate the health of our soil.

There are many fantastic cuts of beef that you can roast, these include organic beef rump roast, topside, beef sirloin joint and silverside. Organic beef silverside is a beef roasting joint cut from the external muscle at the top of the beef animal's hind leg, it is a lean joint, with open texture and perfect for making classic roast beef. Because there's no internal marbling in this cut, and as it's done a lot of work, our butchers wrap the joint in fat, tying it securely with string. This ensures that the silverside stays succulent and juicy when roasted, with the flavours from the fat permeating through the meat as it cooks.

Organic beef is made of a number of butchered cuts that come from a cow reared in an organic certified system. There are several organic bodies in the UK who can offer this accreditation such as the Soil Association & Organic Farmers and Growers. The standards set by these bodies will affect the husbandry, birth, life, slaughter and processing of an organic beef animal. Every standard must be met and is audited at least annually to ensure this is the case. Coombe Farm Organic is certified organic by the Soil Association.
