Discover the Best of Irish Black Angus: A Guide to Our Premium Grill Packet

For those who truly appreciate the art of grilling, our specially curated Grill Packet featuring Flank Steak, Flap Steak, Skirt Steak, and Hanging Tender from Grass-Fed Irish Black Angus is an absolute must-try. Each cut brings its own unique flavour profile and texture, promising a memorable culinary experience. This selection is ideal for anyone eager to explore the special cuts of beef that showcase the exceptional quality of Irish Black Angus cattle.

The Excellence of Grass-Fed Irish Black Angus

Our Grill Packet exclusively features beef from grass-fed Irish Black Angus cattle. Raised in the lush, green pastures of Ireland, these cattle benefit from a natural diet that enhances the quality of the meat. Grass-fed beef is not only healthier, containing higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, but it also offers a richer, more robust flavour compared to grain-fed alternatives. The Irish Black Angus breed is renowned for its tenderness, juiciness, and intense marbling, making it the perfect choice for these special cuts.

Exploring the Cuts: Flank Steak, Flap Steak, Skirt Steak, and Hanging Tender

Flank Steak: The Versatile Favourite

The Flank Steak is a lean, flavourful cut that is incredibly versatile. It comes from the lower abdominal muscles of the cow, known for its distinctive grain. This cut is perfect for marinating and grilling, as it absorbs flavours well and becomes tender when cooked properly.

• Cooking Tips: To get the best out of Flank Steak, marinate it for several hours before grilling to medium-rare. Slice against the grain to ensure each bite is tender and easy to chew.

Flap Steak: Rich and Juicy

The Flap Steak, often referred to as Bavette, is a lesser-known but highly prized cut. It is taken from the bottom sirloin and is appreciated for its rich flavour and juiciness. Flap Steak is well-marbled, which contributes to its succulent texture.

• Cooking Tips: Best cooked quickly over high heat, Flap Steak should be grilled to medium-rare or medium. It’s perfect for fajitas, tacos, or simply served with a side of vegetables.

Skirt Steak: Full-Flavored Delight

Skirt Steak is another cut that offers a robust flavour, coming from the diaphragm muscles. This cut is well-marbled and has a coarse texture, making it ideal for dishes that require a hearty beef flavour.

• Cooking Tips: Marinate the Skirt Steak to enhance its natural flavours, then grill it over high heat. Like Flank Steak, it should be sliced against the grain to maximize tenderness.

Hanging Tender: The Butcher's Secret

The Hanging Tender, or hanger steak, is often referred to as the butcher's secret because of its incredible flavour. This cut comes from the diaphragm and is known for its rich, beefy taste. It is tender when cooked correctly, making it a favourite among chefs and home cooks alike.

• Cooking Tips: Grill the Hanging Tender to medium-rare for optimal tenderness. It pairs beautifully with a simple chimichurri or a red wine reduction.

Preparing Your Grill Packet

Marination and Seasoning

To elevate the flavours of these premium cuts, consider using marinades that complement the natural taste of the beef. Ingredients like garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and fresh herbs can enhance the meat’s flavour without overpowering it. Allow the meat to marinate for at least a few hours, or overnight for a deeper infusion of flavours.

Grilling Techniques

For the perfect grill, follow these tips:

1. Preheat Your Grill: Ensure your grill is hot before placing the meat on it. A hot grill sears the meat, locking in juices and flavour.
2. Use a Meat Thermometer: To achieve the desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. Flank and Skirt Steaks are best at medium-rare (57°C), while Flap and Hanging Tender can be taken to medium (57-62°C) for maximum tenderness.
3. Rest the Meat: After grilling, let the meat rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is juicy and flavourful.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these cuts with simple sides that highlight the beef’s natural flavours. Grilled vegetables, fresh salads, and rustic potatoes make excellent accompaniments. For a gourmet touch, consider sauces like chimichurri, garlic butter, or a balsamic reduction.
