I had a Knepp Picanha steak last night and, without wishing to sound overly dramatic, I may have seen God. I did virtually nothing to it. A light dusting of salt and pepper, into a seriously hot pan, then gave that magnificent layer of fat a proper sear until it was golden, rendered and bordering on indecent. A couple of minutes each side. Done. And bloody hell. You could almost hear the ghost of the cow mooing in indecent pleasure as my knife first glided across the grain. Deep, dark caramelisation on the outside, then just a few millimetres in, that beautiful soft pink of ridiculously tender, juicy flesh. It was gastronomic pornography. The flavour was astonishing. Deep, rich and intensely beefy, with the rendered fat giving every mouthful an almost buttery richness. No sauce. No marinade. No elaborate seasoning. It didn't need rescuing by garlic, butter, peppercorn sauce or half the contents of the spice cupboard. It just tasted spectacularly of really, really good beef. I've eaten plenty of good steaks over the years, including considerably more expensive cuts, but this was genuinely up there with the very best. If anything, the simplicity made it better. Good meat. Hot pan. Salt. Pepper. That's it. Somewhere around the third mouthful, dinner stopped being dinner and became a small private ceremony. I needed a cold shower and a lie down in a darkened room afterwards. Knepp Picanha. Quite frankly, filthy.
Knepp Wild Range Meat sells organic, pasture fed longhorn beef, venison and pork from free roaming herds on the Knepp Estate rewilding project at Dial Post near Horsham, West Sussex.
Knepp Wild Range Meat comes from the Knepp Estate at Dial Post, just south of Horsham in West Sussex, land that was once intensively farmed and is now a pioneering rewilding project. Free roaming herbivores graze at low density across the estate, shaping habitats and restoring watercourses as they go, with no fertilisers, chemicals, high energy feed or farm machinery involved.
The meat that results comes from animals living wild on permanent pasture, and buying it supports the estate's rewilding work. The estate sells its wild range meat direct, open daily for collection, with delivery available too.

Delicious beef, great service and lovely to be able to buy from the whole animal.
I've telling everyone right now. This meat is outstanding. It's so ridiculously good. Tasty OMG. I wish I could give it 20 stars I started with venison sausage... Best sausages I've ever had. I've had quite a lot of sausage. The food kind and this sausage is a good quality peace I then had a 28 day dried aged sirloin. Wow... U could just take a slice it was so clean perfectly dried and so easy to cook. Best Sirloin ever. The I had a fallow venison haunch. Organic spinach organic blue cheese tossed into the spinach on the side. Perfect. I'm honoured to find such a good source of fantastic meat. Website payment thing is a bit not good. But customer should endure it's worth it.
I’m a regular visitor to Knepp and am enjoying working my way through the culinary delights available in their wonderful shop. We have had many steaks, chops and venison burgers, all equally delicious, but today I went for the beef kofta, served with pitta, tabbouleh, tzatziki and (of course) Knepp market garden salad. Needless to say, the koftas were absolutely amazing and a definite hit with the family. BBQ season is here, despite the pouring rain!
I’ve recently purchased Wild Range Meat for the first time. The meat arrived well packed in sustainable packaging which kept it very cold until I arrived home. We cooked a selection of BBQ meat for friends last weekend and it was all delicious. The venison was a highlight, full of flavour and very tender (careful - it doesn't take long on the flames!). And to know that the animals have lived happy, healthy lives on the rewilding project adds to the enjoyment.
We have been using Knepp now for a few months, it's become the only meat we'll eat now both from a an environmental point and a health one, we were recommended by someone who is a nutritionalist.I love that it's not pumped with antibiotics and the animals are living a better quality life how nature intended.We have stocked up the freezer for Christmas and Knepp will be the only meat gracing our table this year.
Ordered a range of beef and pork cuts in the evening and was impressed that my order arrived just 36 hours later with helpful updates from the courier. So far I've tried the beef sausages and burgers and they are the most delicious I've ever had and along with the outstanding quality is the knowing that these animals have truly had the freedom to roam and forage on a varied, natural diet. Love what Knepp are doing and feel blessed to be able to enjoy their healthy meat, more of the budget cuts but they are cheaper than Sainsbury's organic mince by £2 with incomparable standards of animal welfare and goodness. Will be ordering from them again as soon as my freezer permits! Thank you Knepp, one and all.
