Bavette Steak – also known as skirt steak, this BOLD and flavour-packed cut is a true butcher's favourite, hand-selected for its lean profile, loose open texture, and intense, beefy richness that delivers unbeatable taste in every bite. With its natural marbling and thinner, flexible structure, bavette shines when cooked quickly over direct high heat, unlocking remarkable tenderness and a deep, satisfying chew that sets it apart from more tender but milder cuts, perfect for those who crave character and authenticity in their steak.
Sourced from the finest grass-fed, grain-fed, UK, EU, and AU origin beef, expertly prepared by our family butcher team with over 100 years of tradition, bavette is a versatile powerhouse for grilling enthusiasts and home cooks alike. Ideal for quick searing, marinating, slicing thin for tacos or stir-fries, or piling high in sandwiches and nachos, it brings vibrant, restaurant-quality flavour and effortless appeal to any meal, a hidden gem among steak lovers for its BOLD personality and incredible value.
Available in generous whole steaks: 900g – 1.1kg packs, one large piece per pack, trimmed and ready for slicing into steaks or cooking whole. Delivered fresh and suitable for freezing; serves 3-5 people depending on portions.
Bring the steak to room temperature (about 1 hour out of the fridge) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with sea salt and black pepper (or marinate for extra flavour, soy, garlic, lime, or chimichurri work wonderfully).
For best results, cook over very high direct heat: Preheat a heavy pan, griddle, or BBQ grill to smoking hot. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium (internal 60-63°C recommended to balance tenderness and flavour, avoid well done to prevent toughness). Turn once or twice for an even char; if whole, slice against the grain after resting for easier serving. Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 5-10 minutes; this crucial step lets the juices redistribute for maximum succulence and bold taste.
Slice thinly against the grain (essential for tenderness) into strips or portions.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply seasoned to let the intense beef flavour shine, or elevate with chimichurri, hot honey glaze, salsa, or garlic sauce, perfect in nachos, sandwiches with roasted tomatoes, tacos, stir-fries, or alongside grilled vegetables and rice for a vibrant, flavour-forward meal.
