What’s more, we’ve chosen delicious porterhouse steak for our recipes.

What is porterhouse steak?
Across the world porterhouse is a generous beef steak that is actually made up of two different cuts. There’s the filet mignon or tenderloin on one side of the bone and the top loin or strip steak on the other.
In Australia, porterhouse refers to the strip steak either with the bone in or traditionally without the bone. This cut is also popular like this across the ditch in New Zealand.
When selecting your steak, look for a thick and chunky cut, just as porterhouse should be, and good marbling to indicate tenderness, moistness and flavour.
As with any cut of steak, porterhouse is a good source of protein, B vitamins and minerals.
And for these recipes, we’ve suggested our succulent grass-fed beef to give you the healthiest and tastiest experience.
Tell me more about grass-fed beef
Grass-fed beef is exactly what the name suggests. It comes from free-range animals that eat a pure grass diet, exactly as they would naturally.
Many people are choosing grass-fed over mass-produced beef, where animals live in confined spaces and are fed on grain instead of natural grass. Grain-fed animals may also be injected with hormones to trigger growth and antibiotics to stop disease from spreading in their restricted living spaces.
Grass-fed beef has been shown to have higher levels of vitamins A and E and some antioxidants and is less fatty too.
You can read more about the differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef here.
What’s the difference between grass-fed and grass-finished beef?
Not all grass-fed beef cows have only been fed grass. In some cases, they may have had their diet supplemented with grain.
But if your meat comes from animals that have been grass-fed and grass-finished, this means that it’s the only feed they have been given.
This results in a more natural and healthy product. You can taste the difference in the beef, and it is also more nutritious.
All Provenir beef is entirely grass-fed and grass-finished, offering you only the best and most nutritious meat to enjoy.
Is grass-fed beef ethically produced beef?
Here at Provenir, we believe that every day of an animal’s life should be lived according to the highest welfare standards.
Simply selecting beef that has been entirely fed on grass is one way we achieve this. Because animals are free to roam, the animals are happier and they live as naturally as possible.
This is just one of the actions we take to ensure the highest animal welfare standards from our suppliers.
What about paddock to plate?
Paddock to plate is also part of our ethical approach.
This means that the distance from where the animal is reared to your plate is kept to a minimum. This helps us ensure that animals are less stressed and their meat is fresher and healthier for you.
To achieve this, we bring a mobile abattoir to the farms where animals are reared, which means animal stress is minimised, resulting in higher animal walfare, better traceability and fewer food miles too.
