Start by dusting the outside of your brisket in plain flour and sea salt.

Preheat a cast iron casserole dish on a medium high heat. Add some oil and sear well your brisket all around. Your want to aim for a good deep colour.

Remove the brisket and lower the heat on the pan. Add diced onion, carrots and celery and sweat down then add some tomato paste, cook this out, and then some Worcester sauce. Add a generous glug of red wine before evaporating the alcohol and adding some good beef stock. Throw in a good handful of thyme, bay and rosemary.

Place your brisket back in the dish (aim for it to be 2/3rd submerged) ,cover with a lid, and add to a 170°C oven.

cook for 4 or 5 hours turning your brisket occasionally.

Remove from the oven and rest well for an hour. Take out the brisket, reduce the sauce if needed, and carve.

Serve with horseradish sauce or a salsa verde for a fresh kick

All our meat is delivered frozen.

We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.

We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:

• Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.

• Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.

• Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.

• Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
