Whether it’s due to local lockdown rules or just the cold, rainy weather that we’ve been seeing in Shanghai recently, a lot of us have been spending more time than usual at home in recent weeks. It can be a downer, but look on the bright side – it’s the perfect time to flex your home-cooking muscles and try out some new cooking techniques.
Swiss Butchery, Shanghai’s premier service for delivering the finest imported fresh meat, is here to help you with that. The cool weather outside means that your kitchen is crying out for comfort food in the form of a perfectly cooked steak, and Swiss Butchery sells a couple of cuts that are big enough to feed the whole family.
At their Shanghai stores – or online for delivery to your door – you’ll find 1kg ribeye and striploin steaks, each enough to feed at least four hungry carnivores. Ribeye is for those craving pure flavor; rich, tender and densely marbled with fat to make it indulgent, buttery and luxurious. Striploin is leaner, packing less fat to perfectly balance beefy flavor and tender texture.
Swiss Butchery’s beef is imported fresh directly from their suppliers in New Zealand, using innovative cold-chain technology to make sure that it never needs to be frozen before it reaches your kitchen and therefore retains all of its delectable flavor and texture.
To prepare your family-sized steak to medium in the oven, Swiss Butchery recommends pre-heating your oven – and oven tray – to 170°C / 340°F before cooking your steak for around 25 minutes (a good rule of thumb is 12 minutes per 500g). This can be adjusted accordingly to shorter or longer times to achieve rare or well-done.
If you’re craving that classic flavorful crust on your steak, consider searing the edges on high heat in a pan before placing in the oven.
So why not make the most of the extra time indoors with a mighty, meaty feast?
