Christmas FAQs 🎄

Choosing Your Christmas Meal 🥩
Choose our Black Label Argentine Fillet for exceptional tenderness and a Beef Wellington centrepiece, Black Label Argentine Ribeye for rich flavour and generous marbling, or Black Label Argentine Sirloin for a classic beef roast with a delicious layer of fat.
Casa Argentina’s Christmas range includes Argentine beef cuts and curated meat boxes, so you can choose a centrepiece on its own or build a festive meal around it.
As a general guide, allow 200–250g of raw boneless beef per adult when serving it with potatoes, vegetables and other accompaniments.
4 adults - 800g to 1kg
6 adults - 1.2kg to 1.5kg
8 adults - 1.6kg to 2kg
Allow extra for generous appetites, trimming or Boxing Day leftovers. These estimates apply to boneless beef, rather than the total weight of a meat box.
Beef fillet is a classic choice for Wellington because of its tenderness and shape. Choose a piece with an even thickness to help it cook consistently inside the pastry.
Our Black Label Argentine Fillet makes a special Christmas centrepiece. Check the available weights and allow for any trimming when choosing your piece.
A roast Argentine fillet, ribeye or sirloin makes a delicious alternative to turkey for Christmas dinner. Fillet also works beautifully in Beef Wellington, while picanha offers another option for a beef centrepiece.
Serve your chosen cut with roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables, or bring an Argentine flavour to the table with empanadas, Provoleta and chimichurri.
We don’t sell turkey. Casa Argentina’s Christmas range focuses on premium Argentine beef, curated meat boxes, empanadas, wines and festive treats.
Whether you’re planning a beef roast or an Argentine feast, you’ll find options for your main course, starters and gifts.
Each Christmas box has its own selection of products built around a beef centrepiece.
Our range includes the Christmas Fillet Box, Christmas Ribeye Box, Christmas Sirloin Box and Christmas Deluxe Box.
Visit each product page for its full contents, meat weight, price and availability.
The number of servings depends on the weight of the beef centrepiece, your guests’ appetites and what else you’re serving.
For example, a 1.5kg boneless beef joint provides approximately 6–7 adult portions, while a 2kg joint provides approximately 8–10, based on 200–250g of raw beef per person.
Check each box’s contents separately, as the quantities of empanadas, sausages and other accompaniments may serve a different number of people.
Start with warm empanadas or melted Provoleta, then serve your beef with chimichurri, roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
For dessert, try a Chocotorta made with Chocolinas and Dulce de Leche, or serve Argentine alfajores with coffee. These additions bring an Argentine flavour to your Christmas table without making the menu complicated.
Argentine Malbec is a lovely starting point for roast beef. Its fruit flavours and body complement cuts such as ribeye and sirloin.
Casa Argentina stocks Argentine wines from producers including Luigi Bosca and Rutini. Browse our red wine collection to choose a bottle for your meal or a festive gift.

Storage & Packaging ❄️
All meat is delivered vacuum-packed and chilled unless otherwise stated.
- Fresh Products: If your product is marked as fresh, the meat is suitable for freezing. We recommend freezing it as soon as possible after delivery if you wish to store it for a longer period.
- Frozen: If your product is marked as frozen, please note: This product is sold frozen. It may begin to thaw during delivery, so we recommend not refreezing it once received.
We cannot guarantee that frozen products will remain fully frozen during delivery. If your product arrives completely defrosted, we advise against refreezing it for safety reasons.
If your meat is fresh, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Otherwise, freeze it to lock in freshness.
When ready to use, defrost the meat in the fridge overnight and make sure it is completely thawed before cooking.
Frozen meat should go straight into the freezer unless you plan to cook it the following day.
Fresh meat is suitable for freezing can be frozen before its use-by date.
For items sold frozen, place them in the freezer upon arrival. Or keep it refrigerated and use it within 24 hours, once fully thawed.
Defrost your beef joint in the fridge, in a covered container or on a tray that catches any drips. Keep it separate from ready-to-eat foods.
Allow plenty of time: a large joint may need more than one night to thaw fully. Check that the centre is defrosted before cooking, and use it within 24 hours of fully defrosting.
