Longhorn Beef
An old-fashioned forequarter joint, wrapped in a layer of fat and tied. Pot-roast it slowly for a rich, tender Sunday dinner.
Thick rib comes from the forequarter, just below the forerib, and it’s a cut that rewards a little patience. It has a coarser grain than the prime roasting joints and more connective tissue, which breaks down over a long, gentle cook into tender meat and a deeply savoury gravy. We wrap each joint in a layer of fat and tie it by hand, so it bastes itself as it cooks.
It’s the kind of cut that’s been cooked in British kitchens for generations, and it’s never better than from a slow-grown heritage breed. Our Longhorn beef is hung for at least 35 days and butchered on site.
1.5kg serves five to six – a family pot roast.
2.5kg serves eight to ten – with enough left over for a pie.
Weights are minimum weights, so your joint may be a little heavier but never lighter, and you won’t pay for the difference.
Allergens: None
Brown the joint all over in a heavy casserole, then add onions, carrots, a glass of red wine and enough stock to come a third of the way up the meat.
Cover and cook at 150°C for three to three and a half hours, until the meat gives easily to a fork.
Rest for fifteen minutes, then slice thickly and spoon over the reduced juices.
Always prepared to order and delivered chilled, in insulated packaging. All our meat is fresh, never frozen, so if you’re not ready to serve, you can freeze on arrival. Alternatively, follow the use by dates and keep in the fridge before cooking. And don’t worry if you won’t be in for the delivery – our packaging means your order will stay in peak condition for up to 12 hours.
We pack every order carefully, but if your delivery is late, damaged, incomplete or not properly chilled, please contact us on the day it arrives, on 01449 553606 or at [email protected]. Tell us your order number and send photos of the outer box, the packaging inside and the product labels.
Longhorn cattle provide the meat that made England famous for its fine roast beef. In our opinion, there is no better breed for the distinctive flavour of British beef as it’s always tasted.
