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.

- 140g bresaola

- grated zest of 1 orange

- Roast the almonds in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until they are lightly toasted, leave to cool
- To serve, arrange the bresaola on a plate and drizzle with the orange oil, sprinkle a few almonds on top and a bit of grated orange zest. Serve the leftover almonds in a bowl for snacking with the dish

Frequently asked questions
-
Beef is a nutrient dense food and one of our best sources of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin B12 - organic grass-fed beef is leaner and higher in protein and will give a more distinctive taste. Organic grass-fed beef truly tastes how beef should - full of ‘meaty’ flavour as a result of a natural diet, free of chemicals and hormones and a slow growth to full maturity.
-
Grass fed beef can contain up to four times more Vitamin E, a valuable anti-oxidant, than conventional beef. Vitamin E has a vital role repairing cell damage, protecting our health against the effects of ageing and chronic inflammation. Grass fed organic beef is generally lower in saturated fat than conventional beef and therefore is a good meat choice, once weekly, to ensure you can still benefit from its valuable nutrients like high quality protein, iron and Vitamin B12. There are also several other reasons why choosing organic beef is a good idea. Grass fed beef are vital for natural ecosystems to thrive, no pesticides and fertilisers on the land and high animal welfare in organic systems (medicines are only used when absolutely necessary, unlike in the farming of conventional beef animals having a detrimental effect on our health).
-
Organic beef has to be certified by an approved organic body to a number of set organic standards. These include the space that an organic beef animal has to graze, the way that its food is grown, without the use of pesticides and or unapproved fertilisers. The standards for organic beef also cover use of medicines (no routine drugs, growth promoters or additives added) and other points that improve the welfare and conditions throughout the life of the animal and on through slaughter and butchery. Coombe Farm Organic is certified organic by the Soil Association.
