Information about Diced Beef.

Homemade Diced Beef Recipes are much more delicious when using the best quality meat cuts. Enjoy cooking with our Diced Beef made from Grass Fed Beef Tri Tip, it has great texture & rich flavour. The convenient 500 gram packs are excellent value for money with no waste & little shrinkage when cooking. The natural flavour & moisture guarantees great results at the dinner table.

Where does Diced Beef come from?

We choose one of the best steak cuts to make our diced beef; The Tri Tip Steak. The Tri Tip comes from the end of the Rump Steak. This referred to as a “Rump Tail” or “Bottom Sirloin” in America. This steak is a very popular choice cut of meat that is often smoked “Low & Slow” on the Barbecue. 

The texture of our Beef is not too coarse because the Tri Tip comes from the end of the Rump Steak & this cut is tender & juicy when grilled. The flavour from our Beef is rich because it has a little fat marbling throughout the grain. The meat fibres break down easier becoming very tender because it has a good grain & texture.

Most butchers or supermarkets will use cheaper cuts with more sinew inside to try & to make cheaper. This is false economy because there is more waste & the eating experience is sacrificed. The reason we use the Tri Tip is to offer Diced Beef without sinews or gristle, delivering great flavour with a “Melt in your mouth” experience.

How do we cut our Diced Beef?

We select our Tri Tip steaks from good quality Grass Fed beef, these are then fully trimmed up, leaving no fat or skin on the outside. This process is called “P A D” (Prepared And Degristled), leaving only the best natural intramuscular fat in the meat. This fat renders down during slow cooking, adding to the flavour & moisture of the beef.

Once the Tri Tip Steaks are completely trimmed, these are then placed into a clean dicing machine that makes 15mm cubes. The size of the cubed beef is big enough to retain more moisture & flavour when cooking, rather than small cubes that dry out.

How do we pack Diced Beef?

We pack the Diced Beef in 500g quantities, suitable for making smaller shared meals, helping to reduce food waste in the home. The 500g packs are a perfect addition for your online shopping basket, stocking up for those mid week family meals.

These are very popular & we also have the same cut of beef available as Beef Steak Strips that are cut thinner so they can be used in Stroganoffs, stir fry recipes, this means you don’t need to do any preparation work.

The Diced Beef is packed into Clear Recyclable Pouches immediately after cutting. The packs are boxed & palletised then placed straight into the “Blast Freezer” & frozen down to -18°c over a few hours. This ensures your meat stays fresh frozen for up to 2 years with the same flavour & texture from the day it was packed.

All our production facilities are BRCGS / IFS approved  that make any of our meat cuts or products. All refrigerated air is filtered in production rooms, the butchers & packing staff wear fully protective clothing, these precautions reduce natural bacteria. Operated with the highest hygiene & temperature controls to ensure you enjoy the same taste & texture from all our Beef packs.

The Recyclable packaging we use is now stronger & thinner to reduce the amount of plastic we use annually in production. Using less plastic saves energy & reduces the amount of plastic per portion of meat, with our continued goal for a “Greener Future”. The packaging protects the meat from any cross contamination of other foodstuffs when stored chilled. The strong plastic keeps the meat safe when being delivered to your door, the plastic prevents any freezer burn when stored at -18°c.

Provenance of our Beef.

We source all our Irish Grass Fed Beef from farms local to production in Ireland. The slaughterhouses / production plants are constantly supplied with a sustainable supply of top quality cattle. Local farmers have long term relationships with production to ensure continuity of supply all year round.

Our Irish Grass-Fed beef enjoys some of the best green pastures that Ireland has to offer, with the higher than average rainfall there is never a shortage of lush grass for them to enjoy. The welfare of all the cattle is very important not only to the livestock but to the results it brings to the table.

The select choice of breeds we use for our cuts; Charolais, Limousin, Angus, & Hereford, having good confirmation & delivering good yields. Most beef farmers & producers raise their cattle under “Bord Bia” guidelines. All our beef is fully traceable from farm to fork, with all cattle having digital passports, showing farmers details, breed, welfare etc.

The flavour & texture of our Irish Beef is recognised across the globe & found in many high end restaurants internationally.

The process from farm to finished product is always very humane & efficient.

How do you cook Diced Beef?

Diced Beef is normally cooked at lower temperatures for longer periods in the oven or slow cookers. The most popular ways to use Diced Beef are; casseroles, stews, pies, curries. The lower cooking temperatures over longer periods allow the meat fibres to cook more naturally, they breakdown allowing the other added flavours & ingredients to penetrate the meat thoroughly.

• Remove the Diced Beef from the fridge an hour before cooking (leave in pouch).
• Take the beef out of the pack & dry with paper towel.
