About The
Meat Keeper
In my
travels as a chef here in New Zealand as well as overseas I have always loved
finding unique food related places and the other week I was out with Debbie
from Tastes Divine we popped into see The Meat Keeper, a Butchery located in Remuera Road.
Walking
thought the door I was very impressed with the quality of the meat on display.
What attracted my eye straight away was the beef. It is some of the best
looking beef I have seen in a while and I soon found why.
The Meat
Keeper is New Zealand ’s only
retail seller of Savannah Angus Beef which was originally from Scotland Savannah New Zealand
The meat is aged for a minimum of three weeks to
one month. What this length of aging does is to increase the level of
tenderness and this gives the Savannah Angus beef it's unique flavour. There
are many great recipes available on the Beef & Lamb New Zealand recipe site
at www.recipe.co.nz.
Here are a few of my picks from Beef & Lamb New Zealand’s beef recipes.
Festive
Roast Beef
Roast
Scotch Fillet of Beef with Mushroom Sauce & Roast Potatoes
Spiced
Beef Kebabs
They also
carry Harmony free range pork which has the SPCA Blue Tick Certification.
There is
also a great range of free range chicken, Raukumara wild venison, Waikato Lamb
and their own, handmade selection of small goods.
All of
their sausages are Gluten free but what struck me is that there was no signage
to say this. Its just a fact, so when you go there Rob’s sausages will always
be Gluten free.
