Description
T-bones, cut from the front section of the cow’s short loin where the tenderloin narrows, command a premium price as popular special-occasion orders at upscale restaurants. Most steakhouses cook beef over open flames, and the T-bone makes a good candidate for your backyard grill.
The T-bone combines the meaty flavor of a strip steak, often called a New York strip when it’s sold on its own, with the signature tenderness of the filet mignon. The premium price reflects its position on the animal, coming from the area along the spine with the least used muscles.
O’Connor
From the pristine Gippsland region of South East Victoria, the O’Connor family has been supplying premium Beef for over three generations. Flourishing in abundant, nutrient rich pastures the free range cattle graze on natural clover and rye grass. Raised without artificial growth hormones, all O’Connor beef is sourced from selected British bred cattle (Black Angus & Hereford) and is certified “Natural” under the AQIS approved O’Connor Natural Beef Program.
For three generations the O’Connor family has been sourcing the finest quality beef from South Gippsland, grazing on what is undeniably Australia’s most prized environment for producing premium beef. Entirely free range cattle, they are raised on a natural diet of Gippsland’s pure pastures, without any artificial growth hormones, and tested free of antibiotics and chemicals.
They are the best Angus and Hereford cattle breeds, flourishing in the crisp fresh air, pristine water and nutrient rich pastures. After selecting only the very best of these steers, they are then hand graded for colour and marbling to ensure they are providing the utmost in tenderness, texture and taste. This grading ensures a premium category the majority of which is sold to the highest bidder in Japan, however we have managed to ensure Melbournian’s still have access to the worlds best beef which is grown in our own backyard.
This traditional butchers practice further enhances the tenderness and brings out the full flavour of this very special beef.
