The Beefhammer: 3200 grams of pure flavour on the bone. The ultimate piece for braising or smoking.
Meat knowledge
The Beefhammer is cut from the back of the calf and intricately trimmed by hand. After the meat has matured on the bone for several weeks, the finishing touches are applied. The bone is exposed and most of the connective tissue is removed. The result is a piece of meat that is second to none. A massive heavyweight of flavour! The characteristic bone is not only visually appealing, but also gives the meat a real kick in terms of flavour!
Beefhammer - patience rewarded
Once you have placed the heavyweight on the smoker, you have to be patient. The meat has to be cooked slowly over several hours. Only then will the meat become fabulously tender, almost falling off the bone itself. But the reward is guaranteed!
Given enough time, this piece will be a real treat in a casserole or on the barbecue. The marrow adds a wonderful flavour to the sauce and refines the dish.
Afterwards, you can enjoy a piece of meat in a class of its own with a loud "Yabba Dabba Doo"!
Indulgence - Beef from Fitmeat
For our Beefhammer we use wonderful breeds of cattle from small Austrian farmers. Our classic breeds include Black Angus & Red Angus, as well as Pinzgauer Grauvieh and Simmental Fleckvieh.
On idyllic small farms with beautiful, spacious pastures, our calves can really live the life of a lamb. Whether they are grazing in the meadows, listening to the rustling of the leaves or enjoying a short walk, everything is open to them.
Quantity per person
One beef hammer is enough for at least 4 people.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
