Scotch Cube Roll from $54/kg - Grass-fed beef MB2+ - Roam

Why Choose This Cut

The reasons this scotch cube roll from $54/kg - grass-fed MB2+ beef - Roam earns its place at premium butcher counters and Australian dinner tables.

Sourced With Care

Roam is built on a simple idea: better beef comes from cattle that get to act like cattle. The program partners with Australian pasture based farms where animals roam open paddocks year round, eating what they are built to eat across the seasons.

Every animal is raised on grass from birth to finish, with no grain feeding at any stage. No added hormones, no antibiotics for growth, no shortcuts. Each beast is fully traceable from paddock to pack, and every scotch cube roll is hand selected at the boning room for marbling and fat coverage before it is cryovac sealed and shipped chilled to your door.

Why Grass Fed Matters

Grass fed beef is leaner, deeper in flavour, and higher in omega 3 fatty acids than grain finished alternatives. Cattle raised on pasture develop muscle slowly and naturally, building the connective tissue and fat distribution that gives the meat its character.

Roam proves that grass fed and well marbled are not mutually exclusive. The MB2+ marble score on a grass fed diet gives you the cleaner, more complex flavour of pasture raised beef without sacrificing the buttery mouthfeel that makes a cube roll worth buying in the first place.

Packaging and Storage

Each scotch cube roll is cryovac sealed and chilled at the point of butchery to lock in freshness, flavour, and shelf life. The vacuum seal also prevents freezer burn, so the meat stays in peak condition right up to the moment you cook it.

Keep it refrigerated below 4C and use within 5 to 7 days while sealed in the cryovac bag. To freeze, leave the meat in the original vacuum bag, or portion into steaks first, and store at minus 18C for up to 12 months. Defrost slowly in the fridge over 24 to 48 hours for the best texture, never on the bench, and never refreeze once thawed.

The Cost Cut Meats Promise

Genuine grass fed Australian beef at a price that respects your wallet, backed by MB2+ marbling, hand selection, and full paddock to pack traceability. If it doesn't meet your standards, it doesn't meet ours. Add to cart and stock the fridge or freezer with beef you'll be proud to serve.

Flavour and Texture

Scotch is the cut you reach for when you want big beefy flavour without messing about. The MB2+ marbling melts through the muscle as it cooks, basting the meat from the inside and giving you that buttery, rich, deeply savoury bite that needs nothing more than flaky salt and a hot pan. Grass fed beef carries a cleaner, more complex flavour than grain fed, with subtle grassy and herbal notes underneath the richness.

The texture sits right in the sweet spot between an eye fillet and a sirloin. Tender enough to cut with a butter knife, with just enough chew to remind you that you are eating real beef. Pair it with a peppery shiraz, a punchy chimichurri, or a screaming hot cast iron pan and nothing else. With a cut this good, restraint wins.

How to Cook a Scotch Cube Roll

The golden rule with scotch cube roll is high heat first, then rest properly. The fat needs heat to render, so get the pan or BBQ screaming before the meat goes anywhere near it.

For Steaks

Cut 3cm thick portions across the grain, pat dry, and salt generously 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a heavy pan or BBQ until smoking, add a knob of tallow or high smoke point oil, and sear each side for about 3 minutes for medium rare. Rest 5 minutes loosely under foil before slicing. Do not be shy with the pan temperature.

For a Whole Roast

Bring the cube roll to room temperature, then sear all sides in a screaming hot pan with tallow. Transfer to a 180C oven and cook around 20 minutes per 500g for medium rare. Pull the roast at an internal temp of 55C and rest 15 minutes loosely tented under foil before carving against the grain.

Pro Tip

Pull the meat from the fridge a full hour before cooking. It sears more evenly, cooks more consistently, and stays juicier in the middle. And always rest longer than you think, since the juices redistribute while it sits.

Perfect For

This scotch cube roll adapts to whatever the week looks like.

• Steak nights: Slice 3cm ribeyes for the pan or BBQ, restaurant quality at home for half the spend.

• Meal prep and freezing: Portion into individual steaks, vacuum seal, and freeze for steakhouse meals on demand.
• BBQ entertaining: Cooks fast on high heat, a guaranteed crowd pleaser for footy season, long weekends, or summer get togethers.
