🥩 Black Onyx Angus Brisket MB3-4+ – Rangers Valley

Black Onyx Angus Brisket MB3-4+ is a premium brisket cut produced by Rangers Valley, a leading Australian beef producer known for its commitment to long-fed, high-marbling Black Angus beef. This brisket comes from pure Black Angus cattle with a minimum marbling score of 3, delivering exceptional tenderness, juiciness, and rich, beefy flavour prized by chefs and BBQ enthusiasts alike.

🌿 Pure Black Angus, Long-Fed for Exceptional Marbling

Rangers Valley’s Black Onyx program raises 100% verified Black Angus cattle in the cool climate of Australia’s New England Tablelands. Cattle are pasture-raised before being finished on a carefully managed grain ration for over 270 days. This extended feeding period is key to achieving the consistent marbling scores of MB3+ that define Black Onyx beef, resulting in a juicy, buttery texture and deep, complex flavours.

🛡️ Hormone and Antibiotic-Free Production

Cattle in the Black Onyx program are raised without hormone growth promotants (HGPs) and are not treated with antibiotics for growth purposes. This ensures meat free from added hormones or antibiotic residues, meeting the standards of chefs and consumers seeking clean, premium beef.

🔬 Certified Quality with MSA Grading and DNA Traceability

Black Onyx Angus Brisket is graded under the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) system, assessing eating quality traits such as marbling, tenderness, colour, and pH to guarantee a consistently high standard. Rangers Valley also uses advanced DNA traceability, enabling every Black Onyx brisket to be traced back through the supply chain to ensure integrity and authenticity.

💪 Nutritional Benefits

Brisket from marbled Black Angus provides excellent nutrition, including:

• High-quality protein to support muscle growth and repair.

• Increased levels of monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids compared to commodity beef.

• Essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, important for energy metabolism and immune function.

🍽️ Perfect for Smoking, Roasting, and Low & Slow Cooking

With its generous intramuscular marbling, Black Onyx Brisket MB3+ is ideal for:

• Smoking: Slow-cooked barbecue brisket with a perfect smoke ring and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

• Braised Brisket: Low and slow in the oven or slow cooker for traditional comfort dishes.

• Roasting: Coated in rubs or marinades to bring out the deep, beefy notes of the marbled meat.

For best results, brisket should be cooked low and slow to fully render the marbling, producing tender, juicy slices.

🧊 Packaging and Storage

Black Onyx briskets are vacuum-packed at Rangers Valley’s facility to lock in freshness and extend shelf life. Unopened, the brisket can be refrigerated for up to 10 weeks. For long-term storage, freezing at or below -18°C preserves quality for up to 12 months.
