What Makes Hardwicks Beef Unique
Hardwicks has been a respected name in Australian red meat since 1973. Their partnership with Kilcoy Global Foods provides complete oversight of processing and ensures consistency across every cut.
Their cattle graze on rich, natural pastures in southern Australia, which produce clean, beef-forward flavour with strong integrity. This grass-fed upbringing enhances the meat's natural profile.
Hardwicks’ AUS MEAT accreditation and halal certification confirm their commitment to strict standards and food safety. Each step of the process is transparent and traceable from paddock to plate.
Their approach promotes sustainability, ethical production and dependable quality in every steak.
Sourcing and Handling
Hardwicks sources cattle from Australian producers who follow sustainable, high-welfare farming. Natural grazing environments and open pastures support healthy development and clean flavour.
The striploin is processed under rigorous oversight to maintain quality. Each cut is trimmed with care to highlight its natural structure and ensure consistent cooking performance.
Cold chain handling preserves tenderness, flavour and freshness. The steak is vacuum sealed to protect against moisture loss and oxidation during transport.
Your porterhouse arrives firm, fresh and ready for seasoning.
Taste Profile and Texture

Best Cooking Methods
This porterhouse performs well under both high heat and controlled cooking techniques.
-
Grilling: Preheat the grill until very hot. Season generously. Sear for two to three minutes per side. Move to cooler heat and finish to preferred doneness. Rest before slicing.
-
Pan searing: Bring the steak to room temperature. Heat a cast-iron pan until smoking. Sear both sides and baste with butter, garlic and herbs as it finishes. Rest to retain juices.
-
Sous vide: Cook at 54 to 56 °C for medium rare for one to two hours. Finish with a quick sear for crust and aroma.
- Oven roasting: Sear the whole striploin first, then roast at 120 to 140 °C. Brown on high heat at the end if desired. Slice across the grain for maximum tenderness.
