Steakhouses & butchers in Ireland
Ireland raises most of its cattle on grass, and Irish beef is exported to steakhouses across Europe. Irish Hereford and Irish Angus are the best-known labels, and most farms are certified under Bord Bia's Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme.
Beef to know
Buying beef in Ireland
Grass-fed
Cattle graze outdoors for most of the year, giving yellower fat and a fuller beef flavor.
Breed labels
Irish Hereford and Irish Angus are sold as premium, breed-certified beef.
On European menus
Irish beef appears on steakhouse menus from Germany to Switzerland. Irish Grass Fed Beef holds EU protected (PGI) status.
