Diced Stew Beef

Diced stew beef is prepared for hearty casseroles, slow-cooked stews and traditional beef pies. Available from The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, it’s a convenient choice when you want to make a comforting meal at home.

How to cook: Pat the beef dry and brown it in batches to develop flavour. Add stock, onions, carrots and herbs, then simmer gently until the beef is tender. Allow enough time for slow cooking, as the best texture comes from cooking suited to the cut.

Perfect with: Mashed potatoes, dumplings, crusty bread or seasonal vegetables. Use leftovers as a filling for a homemade pie.
