Martins Meats specialises in longhorn beef, which is a premium, high-quality meat that is renowned for its rich flavour and tenderness. In this blog post, we’ll explore what makes longhorn beef from Martins Meats so special and why you should choose it for your next meal.
What is Longhorn Beef?
Longhorn beef is a type of beef that is derived from longhorn cattle. Longhorn cattle are a breed that originated in the north of England, not to be confused with its Texan cousin that has Spanish origins and is known for its long, distinctive horns. Longhorn beef is different from other types of beef because of its leaner and more flavorful meat.
The History of Longhorn Beef
Longhorn cattle have been around for centuries. They are not related to the American or Texas Longhorn whose ancestors came from Spain. English longhorn originated from the north of England and was a draught animal used for its milk and cheese. It was more populated than short-horn cattle until around the 1800s when it became increasingly rare.
Thankfully it was rescued by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust in the 1980s and has been in resurgence ever since.
The Characteristics of Longhorn Beef
Longhorn beef has a unique flavour profile that is unlike any other type of beef. It is leaner than other types of beef, with less marbling, which makes it healthier and lower in calories. However, despite its leaner nature, it is still incredibly flavorful and tender. This is because longhorn cattle are raised on a natural diet of grass, which gives their meat a distinct flavour that is rich and beefy.
