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.

Cotswold Cottage Pie
Brought to you by the British Cheese Board
Prep time: 25 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Serves: 4

This cottage pie is topped with a thatch of cheesy mashed potatoes and swede - it's delicious!

Ingredients:
700g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
300g swede, peeled and cut into chunks
400g lean beef mince
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
75g green beans, chopped
100g mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
50g frozen peas, thawed
4 tsp gravy granules for beef
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
100g Double Gloucester cheese, grated
1 sprinkle ground black pepper

Method
Step 1
Cook the potatoes and swede in simmering water until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan and add the mince, a handful at a time, cooking it until browned. Stir in the onion, carrot, green beans, mushrooms and mixed herbs. Add 450ml of water and simmer without a lid for 20 minutes, adding the peas for the final 2-3 minutes.

Step 3
Preheat the grill and warm a large baking dish under it for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle the gravy granules into the mince mixture, stir until thickened, then transfer to the baking dish.

Step 4
Drain the potatoes and the swede, season and then mash thoroughly. Stir in the chives and about three-quarters of the cheese. Spoon over the mince, spreading it out to cover it. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then grill until golden brown. Serve.

Step 5
Cook's tip: make a vegetarian version with Quorn mince and use vegetable gravy granules.
