Product description
Swaledale Butchers' Gammon Steaks are prepared from the legs of our outdoor reared, heritage breed pigs. Seam butchery techniques employed by our expert team produce individual muscles from the leg to ensure an exacting cure. The perfect balance between spice, sugar and salt in our traditional brine maximises flavour and tenderness; a period of dry-ageing follows. This final process ensures dryness and even caramelisation when cooking.
Serve alongside French fries or sauté potatoes and a fried egg for a tried and tested favourite, highlighting how delicious a simple combination of flavours can be. Alternatively pair with a simple tossed green salad and Puy lentils dressed with a punchy apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard vinaigrette. A simple cauliflower cheese, properly made with vintage Cheddar, nutty Comté or Swiss Gruyère, would be a delicious partnering.
We produce our cured products using the same quality pork we use for our whole muscle cuts; free range Middle White and Tamworth pigs, traditional heritage breeds with exceptional depth of flavour.

COOKING ADVICE
- Take Gammon steaks out of fridge, remove packaging, pat dry with kitchen paper, pop on a plate and allow to reach room temperature
- Lightly oil* the steaks and season with cracked black pepper
- Heat a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet until hot (but not smoking)
- Add the steaks to the dry pan resisting the urge to move them and turn after 2-3 minutes when the steaks will naturally release from the pan and be nicely coloured
- Repeat on the other side
*Select an oil with a high smoking point and neutral flavour
