How to cook the
Perfect Steak
1.Remove the packaging from your Simply Better Angus Steaks and leave at
room temperature for at least 10-15 minutes.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the steaks and season with one of our new
Simply Better Herb seasonings, just before cooking.
3.Sear the steaks on both sides and cook the steaks to your liking (2-4 minutes
on each side for rare, 4-5 minutes on each side for medium and 5-6
minutes on each side for well done)
4.Add a knob of Simply Better Hand Churned Cultured Irish Butter to the
pan close to the end of the cooking time and allow to foam a little. Use this
to baste the steaks.
5.Transfer the steaks to a plate and add a slice of Simply Better Hand
Churned Roast Garlic & Peppercorn Irish Butter to each steak, then allow
to rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Fresh Irish Connemara Hill Lamb
Our Simply Better Fresh Irish Connemara Hill Lamb is indigenous to
the Connemara Hill region. The Connemara region is world renowned
for its mystical beauty, rolling valleys, hills and lakes. The region is
often shrouded by the moist mists of the North Atlantic which enhances
its many wild herbs, grasses, heathers and wild flowers.
Naturally born in Spring, Connemara Hill Lamb matures at a slower
rate gaining all the benefits of this natural diet resulting in a lean
carcass, a rose red flesh colour, succulent texture and pronounced taste.
Sourced from Bord Bia Approved Quality Assured Irish farms, the lamb
is specially selected by our team of butchers and cut to our specifications
to guarantee the best quality lamb for you to enjoy.
