Irish Dexter Beef

Don’t let their size fool you. Irish Dexter cattle may be smaller than the average beef breed, but they bring plenty of character and flavor to the table.

Our Irish Dexter beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. There is no grain-finishing shortcut—just good grass, patient farming, and a heritage breed with centuries of history behind it.

Irish Dexters are a traditional cattle breed with roots in Ireland, valued for their hardy nature, smaller frame, and ability to thrive on forage.

Our Irish Dexter beef comes from cattle raised on a forage-based diet from start to finish. Grass-finishing takes patience, but we believe the resulting flavor and traditional approach to raising cattle are worth it.

Grass-fed and grass-finished beef often has a more pronounced, beef-forward flavor than grain-finished beef. Depending on the cut and the animal, you may notice earthy, savory notes and a leaner texture.

Irish Dexter beef is a wonderful choice for customers who enjoy traditional beef flavor and want to explore something beyond conventional supermarket options.

From hearty roasts to flavorful ground beef and beautiful steaks, Irish Dexter brings old-fashioned beef flavor back to the table. No need to complicate it. Sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

Because grass-finished beef can be leaner, a little extra attention during cooking goes a long way. Avoid unnecessarily high heat for extended periods, use a meat thermometer, and choose cooking methods suited to each cut.

For food safety, USDA guidance recommends cooking whole beef cuts to 145°F with a three-minute rest and ground beef to 160°F.
