Beef escalopes from Fitmeat are cut by hand into 1 cm thick slices and can be pounded or fried directly as desired. They are particularly lean and juicy.
Meat knowledge
Centre-cut rump escalopes are classically cut from the rump (skin) and have a loose fibre structure (short fibres). The best escalopes come from the centre cut rump. This gives them a particularly tender bite and fibres. It is perfect for roulades or for roasting as a cutlet.
Difference between thick flank and centre cut rump
There are a few differences between the thick flank and centre cut rump sides of beef that you should be aware of. The rear part of the leg, which is divided into the topside and the underside, contains very different delicacies. The thick flank is a wonderfully tender piece, ideal for roulades or steaks, or for braising and roasting.
The meat of the centre cut rump, on the other hand, is a little less fine-grained, but no less delicious. It can be used to make delicious goulash, ragout or pot roast.
Centre-cut rump steaks from the heifer. A real rarity
Most young female calves (also known as heifers) are used for milk production and only selected ones are processed into true premium meat. As a result, veal is highly sought after by gourmets. Because gourmets know: The finer the structure of muscle and fat, the more valuable the meat!
Quantity per person
We recommend one to two schnitzels per person (approx. 250-300 g).
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.
