Understanding Beef Cuts

Choosing the right cut of beef makes all the difference in your cooking. Here's a quick guide:

For Slow Cooking

Brisket, shin, and cheeks are perfect for slow cooking. These cuts have more connective tissue that breaks down over long cooking times, resulting in meltingly tender meat.

For Roasting

Boneless beef and knuckle are excellent roasting joints. Season well, sear in a hot pan, then roast at 180°C until the internal temperature reaches your preferred doneness.

For Mince

Our beef mince lets you choose your fat content:

  • 5-10% fat: Best for health-conscious meals like bolognese
  • 15-20% fat: Great all-rounder for everyday cooking
  • 25-30% fat: Perfect for juicy burgers and kebabs

For BBQ

Short ribs and brisket are BBQ favourites. Cook low and slow for the best results.

Storage Tips

Keep refrigerated at 0-5°C and use within 3-5 days, or freeze on the day of delivery for longer storage.
