Big beef flavor, plenty of meat, and the makings of an incredible homemade soup! Our Meaty Irish Dexter Beef Soup Bones come from our own 100% grass-fed and grass-finished Irish Dexter cattle raised at Fluffy Butt Farms. Unlike bare bones used only for stock, these soup bones have a generous amount of meat attached, giving you the best of both worlds: rich, savory homemade broth and tender beef to add right back into your favorite soups and stews. Simmer them low and slow with vegetables and herbs for an old-fashioned, hearty meal. Real Food Takes Time—and this is worth the wait!
Forget those nearly bare bones that leave you with broth but not much else. Our Meaty Irish Dexter Beef Soup Bones have a generous amount of beef still attached, making them a wonderful choice for hearty, old-fashioned soups and slow-simmered meals.
These bones come from our own 100% grass-fed and grass-finished Irish Dexter cattle, raised on pasture at Fluffy Butt Farms.
As they simmer, the bones contribute deep, savory flavor to your broth while the attached beef slowly becomes tender. Remove the meat, shred it, and add it back to the pot with your favorite vegetables for a satisfying meal that makes the most of every piece.
1. Brown for flavor. Roast the bones at 425°F for approximately 30–40 minutes, or brown them in a heavy stockpot.
2. Add your aromatics. Place the bones in a large pot with onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, and enough water to cover.
3. Simmer gently. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the beef is fork-tender, often around 3–5 hours depending on the size and cut of the bones.
4. Save that delicious beef! Remove the bones, carefully separate the tender meat, and discard the bones and any unwanted gristle. Return the shredded beef to your soup or reserve it for another recipe.
5. Finish your meal. Strain the broth if desired, add fresh vegetables, noodles, or barley, and simmer until everything is cooked to your liking.
Farm kitchen tip: Don't leave the meat simmering for hours after it's already tender. Remove it when it's ready, then continue simmering the bones if you'd like a stronger stock.
At Fluffy Butt Farms, we believe some of the best meals come from simple ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and a little patience.
