The Essentials Meat Box

The Swaledale Essentials Meat Box features our dry-aged, heritage breeds from small farms across the Yorkshire Dales - a selection of cuts big on flavour, and suited to a variety of cooking methods and cuisines, all prepared by our team of artisan butchers.

What's in this box?

• 1 x 800g Topside Beef Joint
• 1 x 480g pack Lamb Merguez Sausages
• 1 x 480g pack Yorkshire Breakfast Sausages
• 2 x 180g Bavette Steaks
• 2 x 200g Pork Rump Steaks
• 1 x 500g pack Diced Beef
• 1 x 540g pack Minced Beef
• 1 x 540g pack Chicken Drumsticks
• 1 x 250g pack Dry-Cured Back Bacon
• 1 x 250g pack Dry-Cured Smoked Streaky Bacon

Representing exceptional value, this box is perfect for planning several midweek meals, a weekend slow cook and Saturday night treat, a Sunday roast with several items popped in the freezer for a suitable moment. On that note, all produce is prepared fresh and suitable for home freezing.

With our classic breakfast sausages, plus two most popular bacons your weekend breakfasts will be taken care of and the rolled topside is crying out for the Sunday roast treatment. Beyond that there is serious scope for exploration. Perhaps reach for the coconut and lemongrass and give a beef rendang a go with the diced beef.

A chopped salad of radishes, cucumber, red onion and gem lettuce with a fresh coriander or minted yoghurt would turn the lamb merguez sausages into a perfect light midweek supper.

Pork rump steaks with a patty of bubble and squeak fried in duck fat or lard is an easy win – apple sauce and mustard on the side, of course. For something a little naughty and sure to invoke the child inside, try deep-fried lollipop chicken drumsticks.

Although it may challenge the contents of your store cupboard, we love seeing our bavette steaks in this crying tiger beef noodles recipe.
