How to Prepare a 4 Bone Holiday Roast?

First, choose a high-quality piece of meat; with meat from The Butchery, you're certainly in good hands. Then, choose a preparation technique. Do you want to prepare it on the BBQ? Or not? You can choose from, for example, low & slow, reversed sear, or sous vide. For a 4 Bone Holiday Roast, maintain a core temperature of 54 degrees for a medium rare result. Oh, and if you're preparing it on the BBQ and using a cast-iron grate? Definitely use it, as you'll get a delicious crispy crust. Just make sure the cast-iron grate is scorching hot before placing the meat on it.

Prefer medium? Then aim for a core temperature of 57 degrees.

Quickfrozen Delivered

All the meat you order at The Butchery is delivered quickfrozen to your home. How exactly does that work? We'd be happy to tell you more! To get the meat as 'fresh' as possible to you, it goes directly to production upon arrival, in technical sections. Here, our certified butchers immediately get to work with the finest meat to, for example, cut the steaks or roasts to size and remove membranes, etc. So you don't have to do anything at home, and the steak or roast (after thawing, of course) can go straight into the pan/on the BBQ! Then the meat is carefully vacuum-packed and given a product label with useful information such as the THT and product name. Finally, the meat is frozen in a special way, so the nutritional value is preserved and there is only minimal quality loss. Even less quality loss than if it had been sitting at the butcher's counter for a few days..

You receive your meat quickfrozen. If you need it within a few days, place it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly. Otherwise, it can just go back into the freezer at home!
