An amazing beef stew can be easily made from our diced beef.

Start by heating some oil over a medium high heat. Lightly coat your diced beef in flour and brown in small batches in a casserole dish . Reserve these to the side. Sweat down some diced onions with some thyme, bay leaves before adding some tomato puree and cooking this out.

Add to this some good quality ale and beef stock, bring this to a boil, slightly reduce the sauce and throw back in your diced beef.

Chuck this in a 170°C oven for 3 hours till its soft and tender if after 2 hours its still too liquid take the lid off to let it reduce.

All our meat is delivered frozen.

We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.

We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:

• Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.

• Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.

• Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.

• Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
