Discovering the Richness of South African Meats

South Africa is renowned for its diverse and flavourful meat dishes, each reflecting the country's multicultural influences. For those looking to buy authentic South African meats and steaks, it is important to choose retailers that specialise in South African produce, ensuring that the meats are sourced responsibly and prepared with traditional methods.

South African Boerewors

One of the stars of South African cuisine is Boerewors, a type of sausage that is a staple at any braai (South African BBQ). This savoury sausage is made from a mixture of beef and either lamb or pork, seasoned with a blend of spices that often includes coriander, cloves, and nutmeg. Our Boerewors come in a variety of flavours, catering to all tastes. Whether you prefer the spicy kick of chilli or the aromatic touch of garlic, we have a Boerewors to suit your palate.

Pork Rashers

For those who delight in pork, our pork rashers are a must-try. Cut from the finest quality pork belly, these rashers are marinated and ready to be grilled or fried to crispy perfection. The rich fat marbling ensures that each bite is exceptionally juicy and flavourful, making them a perfect addition to any meal or as a standout dish on their own.

Chicken Flattie

Our chicken flattie, a butterfly-cut whole chicken, is another crowd-pleaser. Marinated in a selection of spices and herbs, it's ready for the grill or oven. The marinades range from peri-peri for a spicy kick, to lemon and herb for a more subtle flavour. The chicken flattie cooks evenly and is perfect for feeding the family or a group of friends.

BBQ Ribs

No South African meat selection would be complete without BBQ ribs. Our ribs are pre-marinated in a homemade BBQ sauce that caramelises beautifully when cooked, creating a sticky, sweet, and slightly smoky crust. These ribs are ideal for both slow-roasting and grilling, guaranteeing a fall-off-the-bone experience.

Chicken Thighs

Lastly, our chicken thighs are a versatile option, ideal for a variety of dishes. Available both bone-in and boneless, these thighs are tender and packed with flavour. They can be purchased plain or marinated in traditional South African flavours, ready to be thrown onto a hot braai or baked in the oven.
