Cooking with
New Zealand beef
New Zealand beef tastes great with a range of flavours. Whether it's a quick weeknight dinner, or a special occasion, there's a recipe for every cut and craving.
Bring your beef to room temperature before cooking. It helps the meat cook evenly and prevents it from drying out.
Before searing or cooking in a pan, pat your beef with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Grass-fed beef cooks quickly. Check earlier than you think you need to.
Rest your beef for at least 10 minutes after cooking before you cut into it. This keeps the juices in the meat where they belong.
