Native Breed Beef from East Anglia: Raised on sustainable, marshland pastures, our beef supports ethical farming practices and animal welfare.

Cooking Tips
Braising: Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan). Season the beef and sear in a hot pan until browned. Add vegetables, stock, and herbs, then braise in the oven for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
Slow Cooking: Place the shin of beef in a slow cooker with root vegetables, stock, and seasoning. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, allowing the flavours to develop and the beef to become tender.
Serving Suggestions: Serve your slow-cooked shin with creamy mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a side of roasted root vegetables. For an added twist, finish with fresh herbs or a splash of red wine for a deeper flavour.
