​Chef's tip: for best results, use a wide heavy bottomed pan to allow the minced steak to spread out and brown in a thin layer. Break up the minced steak with a wooden spoon before or during cooking to release the meaty flavour.​

Beef Steak Stir Fry Strips

​Best to do in a wok. Heat oil in pan then add beef until cooked throroughly. Prepare veg of choice (e.g. carrots, baby corn, brocoli etc.) and stir fry for 2-3 mins. Can add sauce of choice e.g. soy sauce and also noodles if you like.​

Beef Rib Trim

​1. Prepare the meat
​Allow the defrosted meat to come to room temperature, and at least 30 minutes before cooking, remove it from its packaging and pat dry with kitchen paper.
​Preheat the oven to 140 C-160 C / Fan 120 C-140 C / Gas 1-3.

​2. Sear for flavour
​Heat a large ovenproof pan on a high heat, add a little oil and sear the meat until evenly browned all over.
​Season well then take out the meat and sauté a mixture of diced onion, carrot, celery and leeks.
​About one third of the meat weight gives you the weight of vegetables needed.

​3. Add the liquid
​After sautéing the vegetables, place the meat back in the pan.
​Add wine, stock or water, and herbs or spices.
​Make sure that the liquid covers at least a third to a half of the meat and bring to a gentle simmer.

​4. The cooking process
​Cover with a lid and transfer into the preheated oven, or continue to simmer gently on the hob at a very low temperature.
​We recommend the oven method as the process is gentler and the meat does not stick to the pot.
​Check from time to time and top up with liquid if needed.

​5. Test the meat
​Cooking times vary depending on your oven.
​Check after 1 hour and at regular intervals thereafter, basting as you go.
​Insert a meat fork it should slide in and out easily.
​Or simply take a piece out and taste it.

​Allow a total cooking time between 2 - 2½ hrs, or until tender.​
