Steaks
Rib Eye
The most flavourful steak on the animal. Well-marbled with fat running through the muscle, the rib eye delivers a rich, buttery taste that's hard to beat. Best cooked medium-rare on a hot griddle or cast iron pan. Our dry aged rib eye is matured for 28 days+ for even deeper flavour.
Sirloin
Leaner than rib eye but still full of flavour, with a strip of fat along the top that bastes the meat as it cooks. A great all-rounder for steak nights. Available dry aged for maximum tenderness.
Fillet
The most tender cut on the animal — virtually no fat, incredibly soft texture. Best served rare to medium-rare. Our Whole Welsh Beef Fillet is perfect for a Beef Wellington or slicing into medallions.
Rump
Excellent flavour at a more accessible price point. Slightly firmer than sirloin but responds well to resting after cooking. Great for everyday steak nights.
T-Bone & Côte de Boeuf
The showstoppers. Both are bone-in cuts that deliver incredible flavour — the bone conducts heat and adds depth. Perfect for the BBQ or a special occasion.
Flat Iron
A newer favourite from the shoulder — surprisingly tender with great marbling. Excellent value and ideal for quick, high-heat cooking.
Roasting Joints
Rib of Beef
The king of the Sunday roast. Our 28 Day+ Grass Fed Welsh Rib of Beef is dry aged for exceptional flavour. Roast on the bone for the best results — allow 20 minutes per 500g at 200°C.
Topside
A lean, classic roasting joint. Best cooked medium and sliced thinly. Great for a traditional Sunday dinner.
Silverside (Salmon Cut)
Similar to topside but slightly firmer. Works well pot-roasted with vegetables and stock for a moist, tender result.
Rolled Sirloin
All the flavour of sirloin in a convenient boneless joint. Easy to carve and impressive on the table.
Slow Cook & Braise
Brisket
The BBQ and slow-cook champion. Our Flat Cut Beef Brisket is ideal for low-and-slow smoking, pot roasting, or braising in red wine. Allow 6–8 hours at low heat for melt-in-the-mouth results.
Ox Cheeks
One of the most underrated cuts in the butcher's shop. Ox cheeks are packed with collagen that breaks down into rich, silky sauce during a long braise. Perfect with red wine, thyme, and root vegetables.
Jacob's Ladder (Short Ribs)
Bone-in beef short ribs with incredible marbling. Slow roast or smoke for 5–6 hours and the meat will fall clean off the bone.
Diced Beef
Our Premium Lean Diced Beef is cut from the shoulder and ideal for casseroles, hot-pots, and stews. Brown well before slow cooking for the best flavour.
Mince & Burgers
Lean Mince
Our Premium Lean Mince Beef is freshly prepared from Welsh cattle — perfect for bolognese, cottage pie, chilli, and meatballs.
Smash Burger Mince
Higher fat content for maximum flavour and the perfect smash. Press thin on a screaming hot flat top for crispy edges and a juicy centre.
Dry Aged Burger Patties
Made from our dry aged trim — these are a serious upgrade on any supermarket burger. Great on the BBQ or griddle.
Offal & Extras
Beef Bones for Broth
Our Beef Bones for Broth 1kg are roasted and simmered for 12–24 hours to make a rich, collagen-packed bone broth. Excellent for soups, sauces, and gut health.
Ox Tail
Gelatinous and deeply flavoured — oxtail makes one of the richest stews you'll ever eat. Braise low and slow for 3–4 hours.
Ox Liver
A classic British ingredient. Slice thinly, cook quickly in butter, and serve with bacon and onions.
Beef Dripping
The secret to the best roast potatoes. Our Grass Fed Welsh Beef Dripping is rendered from our own cattle — pure, natural cooking fat with incredible flavour.
