Inspired by Exmoor
The beef and lamb from West Ilkerton Farm has inspired these tasty dishes.
From hearty classics to creative dishes, the delicious recipes below will bring the taste of Exmoor to your table.

Sophie’s Sirloin Steak
Many thanks to Sophie Perks for sending us some mouthwatering beef recipes that she used when cooking our beef. Sophie lives in Edinburgh, and we sent her a box of beef by courier. This is her first recipe.
Braised Exmoor Beef
At the launch of #EatExmoor on 7th February, top chef Ian Jarmarkier cooked some of our Devon shin of beef in a cookery demonstration. Everyone agreed it was absolutely delicious. Thanks, Ian!
Exmoor Beast Beef
You can slow cook this recipe, too, if you are going to be out for several hours. This dish freezes well. We always have a few old ice cream tubs of it in our freezer as a stand-by!
Thai stir-fried minced beef with chilli and basil
Thank you very much to Suzanne Barnes, our new neighbour, for this recipe, which she made for her family using West Ilkerton minced beef.
Ann Mold’s Beef Rendang
This recipe, shared by our friend Ann Mold from Lynton, reflects her time in Indonesia. She adapted it using local ingredients during a socially distanced meal in July 2020. With Ann’s permission, we’re delighted to share it with you.
Sam’s BBQ Brisket
This is a simply delicious way of cooking a brisket joint, resulting in gorgeous flaky beef that can goes in a bun perfectly. It’s a great alternative to burgers for a BBQ, and works equally well as a winter treat with baked potatoes – or anything, really!
