T bone Simmentaler

T bone Simmentaler

The tenderness of fillet combined with the rich fat cap of ribeye; surely that’s the best of two worlds? Grilling meat on the bone also gives it a wonderfully rich flavour  and gnawing on the bone as a meat lover… you can do that when you’re not in a restaurant

…  And above all, let’s give our local meat the spotlight it deserves. The double-muscled heifers from our region are raised responsibly and have an authentic beef flavour. What’s more, double-muscled heifer is wonderfully tender and leaner than, for example, Black Angus beef.

T bone Simmentaler 

A stunning T bone Simmentaler from the flavourful Simmentaler cattle breed, also known as Fleckfieh. A popular T-shaped steak, both for its size and, above all, because it contains two exceptionally fine – perhaps the finest – cuts of beef: entrecote and fillet. Full of flavour, especially from a quality cattle breed such as Simmentaler. 

What is Simmentaler cattle?

To us, Simmentaler cattle are the Milka cow brought to life. Really. The animal must surely have been the model. Only the spots are not purple, but (light) brown to red and white, with the distinctive white head. The Simmentaler breed goes way back. It originated in the Middle Ages from a cross between a German and a Swiss beef breed. The name Simmentaler comes from the ‘Simme Valley’, a mountain region in the Bernese Oberwald. Simmentaler is not a universal name for this breed, by the way. In Germany, the cattle are known as Fleckfieh, while in France this animal is called Pie Rouge. Whatever the name, what really matters is that the cattle roam freely on, among other places, the German and Austrian Alpine pastures, where they feast on fresh grass and herbs. It is naturally what is known as a dual-purpose breed, meaning that both milk and meat production are of excellent quality. Simmentaler cattle live for at least three years and have calved at least twice. They are therefore relatively large animals. The meat of Simmentaler cattle has a fine texture, good fat marbling, a distinctive flavour and a deep red colour. In short: the good life of these Alpine cattle undeniably benefits the meat!

A T bone Simmentaler is a robust steak that you can prepare in different ways. Below you will find a handy guide. Scroll through it and choose your preferred cooking method!
