Perfectly Balanced Lean-to-Fat Ratio – Hand-Cut New Zealand Beef for Stews, Curries, and Comfort Food Classics

Introducing Beef Hand Diced 90% V/L Large 30–40MM (Per KG) [FSHMT], the ideal solution for cooks, caterers, and commercial kitchens who want maximum flavour, tenderness, and efficiency from every gram. Sourced from 100% grass-fed New Zealand cattle, this premium cut is 90% visual lean, offering a perfect balance of lean muscle meat and a touch of natural marbled fat for enhanced richness.

Hand-diced into generous 30–40mm cubes, this beef is designed for slow cooking, braising, and batch meal prep. The slightly higher fat content compared to 100% V/L versions ensures more flavourful results, richer sauces, and improved tenderness without the need for additional oils or stock enhancements.

Whether you’re serving hearty winter stews, slow-simmered curries, or savoury pies, this FSHMT-certified diced beef is your go-to choice for a flavour-forward, clean-label meat option with consistent shape, size, and cooking performance.

Why Choose 90% V/L Hand-Diced Large Beef?

1. Enhanced Flavour with Natural Fat

Unlike 100% lean beef, 90% V/L gives you a touch of natural fat — improving moisture, mouthfeel, and depth of flavour. You’ll taste the difference in every stew, curry, or roast.

2. Hand-Diced Precision

Machine-diced beef can crush or shred delicate muscle fibres. Our hand-cut process maintains structure, integrity, and aesthetic, especially important in visible recipes like plated casseroles or buffet trays.

3. Generous Dice Size = Tender Texture

At 30–40mm per piece, this beef is ideal for long cooking methods, breaking down just enough to be tender while holding its shape.

4. No Extra Prep – Ready to Cook

Fully trimmed to a 90% lean standard, it requires no further trimming — saving time and reducing waste in commercial or home kitchens.

5. Trusted Quality from NZ Cattle

Grass-fed beef from New Zealand is globally recognised for its clean taste, ethical farming, and premium quality. This cut is no exception.
