Cooking Instructions
Lamb cutlets are quick to cook and are best served immediately for maximum tenderness and flavour.
Preparation:
- Pat the lamb cutlets dry with paper towels.
- Rub each cutlet with a bit of olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs (like rosemary or thyme) and minced garlic.
Pan-Frying:
- Heat a Pan: Place a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and heat until it shimmers.
- Sear the Cutlets: Place the cutlets in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 3-4 minutes per side for medium.
- Rest the Meat: Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the pan and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Grilling:
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Grill the Cutlets: Place the cutlets on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare or 3-4 minutes per side for medium.
- Rest the Meat: Remove from the grill and allow the cutlets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Crafted with precision...
Matangi Angus Beef is reserved for New Zealanders – meat connoisseurs, Kiwis or friends of Aotearoa who live here or visit – who want to experience the best grass-fed Angus beef.
Our meat is a luxury product perfect for special occasions. Offering a superior experience, we go the extra mile from breeding our own closed herd, with no butchering before 24 months, to hanging and dry ageing the quarters on the bone for three weeks before our in-house butchery team does the fine cutting. This produces the well marbled and succulent cuts our discerning customers expect and desire.

The quality of our land is a key ingredient to raising healthy, strong and ultimately flavoursome Angus cattle. We breed and raise our animals over two properties within the Tuki Tuki catchment. Lush grass on nutritious soil, clean water in every paddock, shady trees, all contours of landscape – the perfect backdrop for contented animals. And we're constantly improving these wonderful places by planting native trees, fencing off creeks, protecting the soil and our water sources.
