If you're looking to switch things up a bit food-wise for New Year's Eve, then some of London's top chefs have come up with some suggestions to beef it up.
They're suggesting you have a think about festive feasts with grass-fed Irish beef. Grass-fed Christmas Feasts campaign sees Tom Cenci, John Chantarasak, Anna Haugh and Henry Harris joining forces with Bord Bia (The Irish Food Board). They want to encourage foodies both to support independent butchers and purchase cuts from animals who've grazed on Ireland’s green grass, giving the meat that distinct grass-fed flavour.
Each chef has come up with a showstopper dish.

"I have been using grass-fed Irish beef for over ten years now and it’s produce I'm really passionate about," says chef Tom. "The farmers truly have the health and welfare of their cattle and landscape at their heart, something which is very important to me. Plus, there is so much depth of flavour that comes from the animals being grass-fed. I’ve used bavette in my Christmas recipe because it is a great cut which is full of flavour and it won’t break the bank, it’s really versatile and can be prepared in different sizes. It’s perfect for feeding the few or the many this festive season, but you have to be quick to buy it, this is the cut the butchers usually like to keep for themselves.”
