The right cut makes all the difference but then so too does the right butchery skills. So, itā€™s always good to chat to the butcher at your local meat counter. In the meantime, here are some of the most delicious cuts of beef for this Christmas...

Bavette

Small on price but big on flavour, the bavette is a slightly cheaper cut which can be prepared in all sizes - perfect for feeding a few or the many!

Chateaubriand

Known as the jewel amongst prime cuts of beef, the chateaubriand is cut from the centre part of the fillet with delicate marbling throughout. It's a classic cut for celebrations all year round, especially during Christmas.

RIBeye

Tender and juicy, the rib-eye is prized for its rich flavour thanks to the marbling of fat. Look out for good quality marbling when shopping to guarantee more intense flavour.
