Old Cow Rump Steak

Our Old Cow Beef is a product of both dedication and exceptional farming partnerships. It is sourced from one of two herds we work with specifically to produce this wonderful meat: traditional-breed Lincoln Reds from the Yard Hill herd at Iken, and Belted Galloways from the Carr Farm herd on the River Waveney. These grass-fed cattle live freely from 5-12 years on rich meadows and marshes. This extended grazing allows the cattle to develop extraordinary flavour, renowned for its richness and creamy marbling. We honour this unique beef by slow-hanging each carcass for 8-10 weeks, ensuring its impeccable quality and depth of flavour.

> Pan-fry and BBQ

To cook a big steak:

1. Take your rump steak out of fridge and allow it to reach room temperature. Make sure the cut is nice and dry.
2. Drizzle a little oil - try ‘Hill Farm Rapeseed oil’ as it has a light flavour and doesn’t mind getting too hot). Season with some crunchy sea salt and a little cracked black pepper. I sometimes rub a peeled garlic clove over as well.
3. Heat a griddle pan, without any oil in it. Get the pan relatively hot but not smoking.
4. Using some tongs, add the steak to the pan standing on the fat and let the fat cook for a good 5-8 minutes. Make sure the fat is nice and crispy.
5. Turn up the heat, and when it's smoking hot, lay down your steak, sear it and then reduce heat a little. Try not to move them too much - 5-6 minutes each side should do it. This will vary, depending on the size of your steak.
6. The important bit - rest your steak! I use a wooden board, some greaseproof paper and a tea towel over that.
