Free Range 28-day Dry Aged Thor’s Hammer

A Beef Lovers Special Treat. Gargantuan in appearance - and gargantuan in taste, texture and pure eating pleasure - not to be missed

Named from Norse mythology, Thor is the God of Thunder, and his hammer was called Mjölnir

Lean and muscular Cut of Beef

Carved from the top portion of the Leg, this lean and muscular Cut of Beef is favoured by Pitmasters and barbecue aficionados who favour a low-and-slow approach to cooking.

The most flavourful fall-of- the Bone Beef options.

Due to its high collagen content, it is one of the most flavourful fall-of-the Bone Beef options. - but it does need patience and time to cook.

Don’t worry about the Collagen - as it breaks down beautifully leaving the Meat silkily tender and falling off the bone - for a taste that will linger in the memory for a very long time

No bigger than most pot roast Cuts

This is a very impressive looking Cut - but, if you analyse it, the Meat from a whole Shank portion of Beef is no bigger than most pot roast Cuts with one exception - the bone.

Expertly French Trimmed by our Master Butchers - there is easy access to the inner silky, sumptuous Bone Marrow - that adds that extra punch of deep Beefy flavour to the Meat

At its most fabulous

You can also add this luscious Meat on the bone into Pies and Stews - but it is at its most fabulous Smoked Low & Slow

Adds an elevated dimension of flavour.

Smoking this in the Barbecue adds an elevated dimension of flavour to the Meat. But alternatively Slow cooked in the oven - it will achieve the same fork tenderness - but with an unsmoked - but very rich, beefy flavour.

• Beef Hammer
TDo you love cooking nice big Cuts of Meat in your Kamado? Then this Beef Hammer is a must for you to try. You have to be patient before you can get stuck into it, so start preparing it in time. First, you let the rub soak into the Meat overnight. The next day, light the charcoal in your Big Green Egg and smoke the Meat for four hours. Then, cook it slowly for about six hours until the collagen in the meat’s connective tissues is transformed into gelatine. The result? Deliciously tender and juicy Meat and, thanks to the bone, a showpiece on the table!
