Our Ultimate Guide To Finding The Perfect Beef Cut

You’re at your local Clayton’s Organic Beef stockist, wanting to pick a perfect cut of beef to treat your family. You’re looking for a steak that won’t break your budget but is still ­packed with flavour. Until it dawns on you, you have no clue what the difference is between a rib-eye and a flank steak.


If you have found yourself in this situation, don’t despair because we are here to help!


There are four main sections of beef – the chuck, the rib, the loin and the round. Each section has different cuts, dependant on the locations of the cow’s body, and vary in how to be best cooked.

You don’t have to sacrifice quality. By turning to cuts that have a lot of movement through the muscle, like the flat iron, they are jam packed with flavour and allow change to stay in your wallet.

By considering Certified Organic beef, you are looking at leaner and gamier tasting cuts, loaded with omega-3 fatty acids.

No matter what cut you choose from, shop at your local butcher to avoid the mislabelling at grocery stores. You can also turn to Clayton’s Organic Beef for 100% Australian grown beef.

Tips!

  • When selecting a cut of beef, choose steak cuts with an even thickness. This will make it easier to cook evenly.
  • When you are cutting into beef, always cut against the grain. This will denaturant the proteins within the meat, making it more tender.

In a world where big corporations often dominate the sponsorship scene, it’s refreshing to see local businesses stepping up to support their communities. Clayton’s Organic Beef, a beloved local enterprise renowned for its commitment to quality and sustainability, has recently taken on the role of sponsor for the Brothers Rugby Club . This partnership marks not only a significant milestone for both parties but also highlights the importance of local businesses supporting grassroots sports and community events. “Sponsorships like these are more than just a logo on a jersey,” Jackie Sargood emphasised. “They’re about camaraderie, and a sense of belonging within our community. It’s about showing we’re all in this together.” Sponsorships enable clubs like the Brothers Rugby Club to thrive, providing opportunities for players of all ages to develop their skills, forge lifelong friendships, and make cherished memories on and off the field. This sponsorship holds a special significance for the Sargood family. For years, their sons were proud members of the club. “We have witnessed the transformative power of community sports, watching our sons grow not only as athletes but also as individuals” Jackie stated. “We are investing in the same community that has played an integral role in shaping our family’s values and experiences. “ As we celebrate the partnership between Clayton’s Organic Beef and the Brothers Rugby Club, let us recognise the significance of local businesses supporting community sports and events.

Why Choose Organic Beef?

By Lauren Branch • March 1, 2023
Organic beef has become increasingly popular in recent years due to concerns about the health and environmental impact of conventional meat production. But why is eating organic beef beneficial for your health? Firstly, organic beef is free from synthetic hormones, antibiotics, and other harmful chemicals that are commonly used in conventional meat production. These chemicals can be harmful to human health, and have been linked to a range of health problems, including antibiotic resistance, hormone disruption, and cancer. In contrast, organic beef is produced using natural, sustainable farming methods that promote the health and welfare of the animals. This means that the animals are free to graze on grass, rather than being confined to feedlots and fed a diet of grain, which can be harmful to their health. In addition, organic beef is typically higher in nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, which are essential for maintaining good health. These nutrients are found in higher quantities in grass-fed beef, which is the primary source of organic beef. Moreover, organic beef is produced in a way that is more environmentally sustainable than conventional meat production. This is because organic farmers use fewer chemicals and pesticides, and promote soil health and biodiversity, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve water quality. Finally, by choosing organic beef, you are supporting sustainable farming practices and promoting animal welfare, which are important factors for many consumers. Organic beef is typically more expensive than conventional beef, but the benefits to your health and the environment make it a worthwhile investment. In conclusion, eating organic beef is beneficial for your health, as it is free from harmful chemicals and higher in essential nutrients. Additionally, choosing organic beef supports sustainable farming practices and promotes animal welfare, which are important considerations for many consumers. So next time you’re in the market for beef, consider making the switch to organic!
