WESTHOLME WAGYU - TOMAHAWK STEAK
Australian Wagyu Beef 8-9 MBS
Australia has a reputation for producing clean, green, and safe beef, and the quality of beef is second to none national traceability system that works in conjunction with the national standard for animal health, welfare, and biosecurity to ensure best practices of animal husbandry and low-stress stock handling.
'Born wild, raised on native grasses'
Westholme cattle are born wild and raised on some of Australia’s most iconic cattle stations. The cattle came to Australia from Japan more than two decades ago. Their lineage traces back to the mighty Westholme herd founded on champion Wagyu bulls and cows, and the vast pastures of Mitchell grass nourish the cattle where they roam free.
The steaks are cut here in the UK and then rapidly frozen to -28° in a matter of minutes. This process offers two major advantages, one being zero food waste and the other helping to keep the meat in amazing condition. Red meat naturally discolours after a few hours so blast freezing is the ultimate way to keep the steak as fresh as it is when first cut.
Cooking test results with MEATER®
Tomahawk size: 1.3kg, probe placed in the thickest part of the steak that had been out of the fridge for 20 minutes. The probe will pick this up in any case.
Cooking Method: We used a Webber compact bbq, simple but effective. High-quality Charcoal briquettes from The green Olive . The briquettes were lit and covered the base of one-half of the bbq only. The tomahawk was seasoned well with salt and placed on the half of the bbq with no briquettes underneath, lid down the steak was turned every 5 minutes.
The internal temp of the bbq was approx 220°c, and the MEATER probe was set to take the steak off at medium-rare to medium 55°c (better with ribeye cuts to develop the flavour and cook internal fat more)
Time: Cook time was 49 minutes with a further rest time of 13 Minutes
Result: Steak was well caramelised and perfectly cooked, very slightly towards medium than medium-rare, which in this case is perfect for a sharing cut such as this, offering different levels of doneness to suit all.
The tomahawk is a mightly cut and will feed at least three people. Due to its depth of flavour and richness could even feed 4.
Origin: Australia

TRANSIT TIMES & PACKAGING
All ingredients that we sell are hand selected choosing from the best product available.
We only use premium express courier services and aim to have produce out of our hands and into yours in the shortest possible time.
All perishable goods orders are safely packed in thick, wool lined, insulated boxes with Eco friendly Ice packs, guaranteeing freshness for a minimum of 2 full days in transit. Much longer in colder seasons.
FROZEN PRODUCTS
The vast majority of frozen food shipments arrive frozen but we cannot guarantee this. In the event that your order has defrosted it should still be at a very low temperature when you receive it and therefore fine to put in straight in your freezer. Refreezing is only unsafe if the product has reached 8°c. It is worth mentioning that supermarkets routinely sell defrosted food as "fresh", with the advice that it may be frozen when you get home.
FRESH TRUFFLES
All fresh truffles are sent in a foil resealable pack with an absorbent paper. This is suitable for storing in your fridge. If storing truffles for more than a few days we recommend wrapping them in paper towel or using a Tuberpac. Fresh truffles are always best consumed as soon as possible.
