The Well Hung Meat Company at Carswell Farm in Devon are our go-to organic beef farmers. They work with a small clutch of nearby cattle farmers they know and trust on the idyllic South Devon coast. Their secret is rearing traditional breeds known for their superior quality and taste. The cows graze in organic pasture for as long as possible – the grass giving the meat its brilliant flavour. The beef is then matured the old fashioned way (with some cuts hung for 21 days) to develop exceptional flavour and remarkable texture before it’s hand prepared.
Although beef contains saturated fats, small portions of beef are highly beneficial as a concentrated source of protein, iron and vitamins. Beef, as with all meat, is a good source of protein. Beef can help prevent and treat anaemia, due to its concentrated source of iron. Beef also contains large amounts of B vitamins, helpful in energy conversion in all parts of the body.
Roasting joints of beef requires 20 minutes on 240C/475F/Gas mark 9, then a further 15 to 22 minutes per pound, or 3 to 5 minutes per 100g, at 190C/375F/Gas mark 5. These times are approximate and will vary between ovens. Using beef in stews requires browning before the meat is stewed, and this is also true for minced beef. This is not to seal the meat, but to caramelise the surface of it. Beef should be kept at a very cool temperature, wrapped and kept away from other foods. Beef can be frozen, but should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
