Our New Zealand beef comes from the Canterbury area of the southern island of New Zealand. The cows are raised on local ranches (referred to as cattle stations in New Zealand) which are family-owned and run. The animals are grass-fed on open pastures their entire lives. Then, 200 days before harvesting, the cows are fed a mix of vegetarian feed consisting of all-locally sourced GMO-free natural grains, silage, hay, molasses, oilseed meals and legumes for a consistent beef flavor and texture. At no point are the animals confined in tight spaces or are force-fed. The finishing feedlots are very spacious and animals are absolutely free to roam on over 6000 square meters. At no point are growth-hormones or antibiotics used.

Completely defrost in the fridge or in cold water. Open pack and pat dry any moisture with a paper towel. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. You will see vivid color changes as the steaks are exposed to oxygen.
Quality steaks do not require heavy seasonings or marinate. Simply use sea salt and freshly ground pepper and rub with extra virgin olive oil.
Use a fry-pan or cast-iron skillet. Preheat to low/medium. You need to hear the steak sizzle. If you are using a grill, place the steaks into the indirect heat zone not directly over the flames.
Cook low and slow on all sides. Make use of your kitchen tongs to make the steaks stand up on their sides. Keep turning the steaks. There is no need to sear these steaks!
Keep turning them. Use a thermometer to determine the core temperature. We recommend medium-rare for steaks. Remove from the heat once the core temperature has reached 50 degrees Celcius (125 degrees Fahrenheit) and place on a cutting board.
The steaks will continue to cook internally on residual heat. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes.
Use a large sharp knife and cut the striploin steaks into slices.
Perfectly cooked to medium-rare. Serve and eat while warm for the best taste experience.
Sprinkle with sea salt if necessary. Enjoy!
