Food quality and convenience
* Less food waste: A longer shelf life means less food waste in our supply chain, and more importantly, in your home. This mince has up to 6 extra days of shelf life compared to our previous packaging.
* Improved quality: By keeping oxygen out, the packaging protects the meat's natural taste and flavour, so you can count on a delicious meal every time.

Our organic beef steak mince is ground from selected cuts of organic beef and then carefully blended to create a mince that is juicy, full of flavour, and high in protein*. It's perfect for pressing into homemade burgers and meatballs, simmering away in a cosy cottage pie, or as the base of your spaghetti bolognese or chilli con carne.
*Protein supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

Our Ocado organic beef is organically farmed and raised exclusively on Ireland’s pasture-based system. Ireland’s unique position in the Atlantic Ocean provides a temperate climate and plentiful rainfall, making it perfectly positioned for growing grass. This contributes to the great taste of our beef as part of a rich, naturally preserved environment. Our organic farming methods use no fertilisers, herbicides, hormones, or routine medicines.

We couple this with the highest standards in animal welfare and industry-leading environmental initiatives such as;
- Water regeneration programs using natural reed filtering systems
- Biodiversity corridors which helps reforestation and facilitate the natural flora and fauna of the area
- The creation of tree corridors which advance us towards the goal of reducing carbon emissions and provide shelter for local wildlife.

Bean-boosted Chilli Con Carne
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Serves: 4

The chilli has been removed from this bean-boosted chilli con carne to make this suitable for kids as well as grown-ups, but you can add some if you all prefer a bit of spice. This recipe is perfect if you want to cut down your meat intake as it uses double beans, which means there’s plenty of protein while using less meat. You can save energy too by making a big batch and freezing half.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
250g beef steak mince
2 Romano peppers, cut into bite-sized chunks
30g coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves picked and reserved

400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
250g x 2 sachets microwave long-grain rice
2-3 loose chillies, optional

Method
Step 1
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and mince (and chillies if using), breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 mins or until the mince has browned and the onion softened.

Step 2
Add the peppers, coriander stalks and cumin, and cook for 2 mins, stirring constantly. Add the tomatoes, then fill the empty tin with water and tip in. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins.

Step 3
Stir in the beans and cook for 5 mins; season to taste. Meanwhile, heat the rice as per pack instructions.

Step 4
