Sliced beef brisket

Beef brisket, already prepared as steaks

Brisket comes from the front part of the animal. Here it is prepared as small steaks, so it can go straight into the chosen cooking method without needing to be portioned at home.

It is a practical format for simple meals and for anyone who prefers to receive the beef already cut into easy-to-handle portions.

How to cook them

For griddle or pan cooking, use a properly heated surface and cook the steaks on both sides, adjusting the time to the thickness of each piece.

They can be served with vegetables, potatoes or another simple side dish. If frozen, it is best to thaw them in the refrigerator before cooking.

About Tolecarnes

Tolecarnes is a family-run cattle farm based in Menasalbas, at the foot of the Montes de Toledo, with three generations of experience raising cattle.

Its calves are raised by the farm from birth and spend much of the year grazing freely on its dehesa in the Montes de Toledo. The wetter conditions on the northern side of the mountains provide natural pasture for a large part of the year, allowing the cattle to remain outdoors and active in an open environment.

During winter, when fresh pasture is less abundant, their diet is supplemented with forage collected during the more productive months and with feed produced by Cooperativa Valle de Mena, of which Tolecarnes is a member. This feed is made from plant-based ingredients, giving the farm greater control over the animals' diet.

Tolecarnes oversees the farming process from the birth of its calves through to the sale of the meat, maintaining a traditional approach to cattle farming closely connected to the Montes de Toledo.
