Product description

Swaledale Gammon Steak: Traditional Flavour & Expert Craftsmanship
Swaledale Gammon Steak is expertly prepared from the legs of outdoor-reared, heritage breed pigs. Our skilled butchery team uses seam-cutting techniques to separate individual muscles from the leg, ensuring an exacting cure. A traditional brine - carefully balanced with spice, sugar, and salt - maximises flavour and tenderness, followed by a period of dry-ageing. This crucial step enhances texture, ensuring a dry surface for even caramelisation during cooking.

For a classic and satisfying meal, serve with crispy French fries or sautéed potatoes and a fried egg (or two), letting the rich, salty-sweet gammon shine. Alternatively, pair with a simple green salad and Puy lentils dressed in a punchy apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard vinaigrette. A comforting cauliflower cheese, made with vintage Cheddar, nutty Comté, or Swiss Gruyère, also makes a deliciously indulgent accompaniment.

Chef Val Warner says of gammon steak..."seemingly so part of our kitchen heritage, heritage a word that also takes me straight to the pub where I’d order such a steak crowned with two eggs and a jumble of crispy chips, a pint put down that the cutlery be picked up.

I love gammon steaks next to a leek gratin, the leeks poached and drained and then laid in a creamy cheese sauce and popped under the grill with a scattering of seasoned pre-fried crumbs on top.

Both parsley and mustard sauces would complement this brined piece of pork well either with simply boiled potatoes beside or some braised lentils mixed into either sauce, the gammon on top.

A fan of my ham with pineapple and make the latter a little more interesting by first roasting the rings of pineapple heavily dressed with brown sugar, smoked chilli and vinegar mixed with a little tomato purée. Cook the pineapple hard until browned and sticky. Pepper the gammon well, adding a little fresh oregano and fry gently but taking care to colour it. A wonderful match with a blob of crème fraîche and maybe some unctuous black beans."

Cooking advice

  1. Remove the gammon steaks from the fridge, take them out of the packaging, and pat dry with kitchen paper. Place on a plate and allow to come to room temperature.
  2. Lightly oil* the steaks and season with cracked black pepper.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.
  4. Add the steaks to the dry pan, resisting the urge to move them. After 2–3 minutes, the steaks should naturally release from the surface, developing a rich, golden colour.
  5. Flip and repeat on the other side, cooking until caramelised and heated through.

*Select an oil with a high smoking point and neutral flavour, such as groundnut or vegetable oil.

Background

Expertly Cured from Premium Heritage Breed Pork
We produce our cured products using the same exceptional quality pork as our whole muscle cuts. Our Tamworth and Middle White pigs are reared outdoors, where they root, wallow, and exhibit all their natural behaviours. These slow-grown, heritage breeds mature at their own pace, allowing the fat to develop naturally and marble the meat, resulting in superior texture and depth of flavour.

Swaledale Gammon Steak is Always Fresh, Never Frozen®, butchered to order, vacuum-packed for freshness, and shipped in fully recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.
