Our delicious spiced beef

We love the fact it has been unseasonably warm - farming livestock in the sunshine is a lot more fun than lashing rain. But there is one small problem. Henri and I are rather partial to our cooked spiced beef - a sort of meaty Yule Log.

Taken from the silverside cut this well hung Red Ruby beef is salted and subtly spiced with cloves, juniper, allspice, dried orange peel and dark muscovado sugar. It is then cooked and pressed. The result is a beautifully marbled, pastrami like texture with aromatic flavours. Sounds good doesn't it? Everyone loves coming into the kitchen on the farm when we're cooking this as the smell is absolutely divine. And the good news is it keeps for ages.

So what's the problem I hear you ask? Well - Henri and I like to nibble (OK munch) on our spiced beef with a glass of mulled wine. And at the moment it's just too warm to be pouring red wine into a saucepan. So I'm going to be controversial here and start praying for a cold snap.

PS. We stick orange peel in the bottom of our AGA and when it has dried out we grate it and add it to the spices for the beef.

Why buy from Pipers Farm?
