Whole-Carcass Artisan Steak - Heritage Breed Beef

If steak names like Onglet, Spider, or Denver are new to you, it’s time to explore these hidden gems of the butchery world. Loved by our community of restaurant chefs for their intense flavour and unique texture, these grass-fed artisan steaks are a standout example of nose-to-tail butchery. Whether pan-seared, grilled, or slow-cooked, these cuts deliver a distinctive and exciting dining experience.

Not all beef is created equal. Swaledale beef is dry-aged on the bone for at least 28 days, a traditional process that enhances both flavour and tenderness. These artisan cuts, finer in texture and more robust in taste than those from commercial cattle, are prized by chefs and home cooks alike for their exceptional quality.

At Swaledale Butchers, we embrace whole-carcass butchery, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Each heritage breed beef steak is meticulously prepared by our expert seam butchers, who skilfully separate individual muscle groups. This precision allows every cut to showcase its own unique characteristics and rich, full-bodied flavour.

Artisan Steaks - Grass-Fed, Heritage Breed Beef, and Unmatched Flavour

Swaledale beef is sourced from independent farms and smallholdings across the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales, where cattle roam freely on lush green pastures. Slow-grown and raised in harmony with nature, this ethical approach produces beef with a rich, umami-packed flavour - dense, tender, and truly exceptional.

Each cut in this collection tells a unique story. From the bistro classic Bavette, steeped in French culinary tradition, to the modern Denver, developed in 1990s North America, and the Outside Skirt, which embodies its Mexican heritage, these lesser-known cuts offer incredible gastronomic potential at an affordable price point.

For those who’ve savoured a perfectly medium-rare Bavette steak or a meltingly tender, red wine-braised Featherblade, you already know the joys of these artisan steaks. If you’ve yet to try them, welcome - you’re in the right place. Prepare to be amazed!

Swaledale’s artisan steaks are butchered to order, vacuum-packed for peak freshness, and delivered Always Fresh, Never Frozen®. With a focus on sustainable butchery and respect for the environment, you can enjoy Yorkshire Dales beef with a clear conscience.

Choose to buy artisan steaks online from Swaledale Butchers and experience the exceptional taste and quality of grass-fed heritage breed beef. Delivered in fully recyclable packaging, these dry-aged beef steaks are expertly prepared
