BBQ

Cooking over an open flame is not the norm in modern kitchens, but there’s something about a BBQ which calls to an ancient part of us, and allows our natural inclination for fireside feasting to shine through.

Swaledale Butchers provides some of the most ideal cuts for BBQ season; seared directly over hot coals, or indirectly over dying embers, our collection of heritage breed meat has been curated especially for this type of cookery.

It’s all about fat! The breeds we rear are marbled throughout, much more so than commercial breeds. As our meat cooks, this intramuscular fat melts, giving the meat a creamy texture, and boosting the flavour of the meat tremendously.

More about BBQ

The key is to heat the meat low and slowly, so that when the fat melts it transforms the often slightly tougher cuts, into tender, moist and succulent mouthfuls. It’s worth taking the time to get the coals to the correct temperature to allow this magic to occur. Your patience will be rewarded. Our heritage breeds of livestock, properly aged, are incomparable to commercial breeds, and possess a unique depth of flavour. During the ageing process the muscle loses water which allows for quick caramelisation, essential for an appetising deep colour to occur during the BBQ process.

Often our BBQ meats have their bone-in which helps with moisture retention, and are either marinated overnight or simply seasoned with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper. Swaledale meat is Always Fresh Never Frozen®, butchered to order, vacuum packed, and shipped in recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.
