The cows spend their days grazing freely on a wide variety of native grasses, wildflowers and herbs, roaming the fields and resting under the trees. In the winter, they are given homegrown, organic silage and hay to munch throughout the day. We support traditional British cattle breeds that benefit from natural, slow-growing lives and produce beautifully marbled beef. Our beef is then hung for at least 21 days to mature the flavour for tender, flavourful meat. This creates an exceptional flavour and soft texture that is second to none. From our own cured pastrami to slow-roasting joints, we are immensely proud of our organic, pasture-fed beef.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow To Cook \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe Recommend: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBraised Ox Heart Recipe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 ox heart (about 1-1.5 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tablespoons vegetable oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 large onion, chopped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 carrots, chopped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 celery stalks, chopped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 cloves garlic, minced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tablespoons tomato paste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 cup red wine (optional, replace with beef broth if preferred)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 cups beef broth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 can (400g) diced tomatoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 bay leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 teaspoon dried thyme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 teaspoon dried rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt and freshly ground black pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrepare the Ox Heart:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse the ox heart under cold water and trim off any excess fat and connective tissue.
