Bavette Steak is perfect for those who enjoy a robust, beefy flavor. It is best cooked quickly over high heat, allowing the natural juices to seal in. This cut is ideal for tacos, fajitas, or simply served with a side of vegetables, providing a delicious and memorable meal.
Bavette Steak is a culinary favorite, known for its intense flavor and tenderness. This cut is taken from the bottom sirloin of the animal, providing a unique taste that stands out in any dish. We recommend marinating it before grilling to enhance its flavor and tenderness & after grilling, resting to ensure the juices permiate throughout the steak before cutting.
Pair it with fresh salsa or a zesty chimichurri sauce to complement its rich taste. This steak is sure to impress at any dinner table, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
The choice to breed and raise Red Ruby Devon cattle was obvious to us, as the end product is highly regarded as some of the best Beef one can get, thanks to the natural tendancy to develop intramuscular fat deposits, which provide much of the tenderness and flavour wanted by the descerning meat eater, but unlike some of the other more common cattle breeds such as Aberdeen Angus or Hereford, the Devon cattle are able to be raised with mininal grain or concentrate feed, and are even renowned for getting "fat" too easily, which makes them an ideal fit for conservation grazing sites, which often have poor quailty grasses, sedges and wildflowers. Thanks to the varied diet of cattle from these sites the beef takes on a unique flavour profile thanks to the unique selection of herbage the cattle have access to.
This is combined with modern "seam butchery" style to ensure every part of the animal is showcased to its full potential. Seam Butchery by ensuring muscle groups are seperated into individual muscles, allows them to be selected by cooking style, which we feel provides us with a unique product that, thanks to its origin and the way in which its prepared, is of unsurpassed quailty.
Here at Upper Unstead Farm, since 2016 there has been a suckler herd of Red Ruby Devon's, introduced to enhance the areas of the Wey Valley Meadows SSSI that we manage, which they do with ease. Since 1972, we have had numerous cattle on the farm, Originally to supply the family's butchers shops. Since 2016 we have made a slow return to the retail meat trade, but with a focus on providing the very best quality beef, whilst on a sustainable footing. With the farm having recently passed to the Third Generation within the family, we are focused on the future, both with regards to ensuring the sustainability of the farming and farm business, but also ensuring we strive to offer the best produce with innovative butchery backing up traditional breeds and ways of farming.
