Let’s explore why our current offerings — the Steak Pack, Stuffed Pork Fillet, and Panko Crumbed Lamb Cutlets — are perfect for your next culinary adventure, along with some recipe ideas and tips to make the most of them!

Taste the Difference: Our Premium Steak Pack

Our Taste the Difference Steak Pack includes one 350g Prime Steer Steak and a 350g Wagyu Marble Score 5/6 Steak. Both cuts are a celebration of NZ’s finest beef, renowned for their tenderness, marbling, and rich flavour.

Cooking Tips & Recipe Ideas:

Perfect Grill: Bring your BBQ or grill pan to high heat. Season the steaks simply with salt and pepper to let their natural flavours shine. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting to your preferred doneness.
Steak Salad: Slice the steaks thinly and serve over mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a tangy vinaigrette.
Steak and Chips: Classic and simple — serve with crispy roasted potatoes or chips and a dollop of aioli or your favourite sauce.

Stuffed Pork Fillet with Apple & Sage Sausage Mix

Our stuffed pork fillet is a show-stopping centrepiece perfect for Sunday roasts or special occasions. It’s filled with a flavourful pork, apple, and sage sausage mix, then wrapped in crispy bacon for extra juiciness.

Cooking Tips & Recipe Ideas:

Roasting: Preheat your oven to 200°C. Sear the stuffed fillet in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a golden crust. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
Serving Suggestion: Slice to reveal the stuffing and serve with roasted vegetables, or a fresh apple slaw for added crunch.
Extra Tip: Secure the fillet with kitchen twine to keep the stuffing intact during cooking.

Panko Crumbed Lamb Cutlets

Tender, juicy, and perfectly coated in crispy panko crumbs, our lamb cutlets are ideal for a quick, flavourful meal. They’re great grilled, pan-fried, or oven-baked.

Cooking Tips & Recipe Ideas:

Pan-Frying: Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked to your liking.
Oven-Baked: Place on a baking tray and cook at 200°C for 15-20 minutes for a healthier option.
Serving Ideas: Pair with mint yoghurt, roasted sweet potatoes, or a fresh salad for a balanced and tasty dish.
