When it comes to hosting a quality barbecue, sourcing quality ingredients is an important step. The Quality Standard Mark, found on beef and lamb is an easy way to select meat that has been specially selected for its consistent eating quality – to be succulent and tender.
Angela Hartnett, Celebrity Chef and Quality Standard Ambassador says; “This time of year is perfect to make the most of seasonal produce, get out of the kitchen, spend quality time with family and friends and cook something quick and tasty on the barbecue. One of my favourites is a juicy, tender steak. I’m often asked for hints and tips to create the perfect steak. My answer is always the same; buy good quality meat. When shopping for steak I recommend looking out for Quality Standard beef.
Look out for the patchwork fields logo in supermarkets or independent butchers to select meat that has been independently assured, from farm to fork, and produced to standards above legal minimum. With the Quality Standard Mark I feel safe in the knowledge that the beef I am buying is succulent and tender for the perfect eating quality – what every family needs for a successful barbecue’.
