Product description
Braising steak, as the name suggests, requires long, slow, and gentle cooking. Naturally lean, it is butchered from the chuck section of the forequarter. Also known as casserole steak, it makes for the perfect beginning of many a stew, casserole, pie, or pudding. We cut it as whole steaks, perfect for a slow braise, but it may also be diced for hearty recipes requiring tender, succulent chunks of beef*.
Chef George Ryle inspires:
"Braising in ale is a great place to start here, brown some smoked bacon lardons and then sweat carrots, onions and leeks. Add the steaks, plus a bottle of traditional ale and a splash of stock and simmer very faintly until the meat is tender and the sauce is thickened. This would be a great time to shape some suet dumplings, scatter them over the top of the stew and bake in the oven. Buttered cabbage with a few healthy twists of black pepper on the side to accompany. Alternatively, dice the steaks into large chunks and embark on the culinary adventure that is a beef and oyster pie. Beef, mushrooms and a little Guinness provide a base with oysters and their juices added before being encased in pastry and baked to a golden crunch. It really is something to behold the salt and minerality of the oyster complementing the beef in a way that you might not expect."
*All Swaledale beef is heritage breed and raised on independent farms and smallholdings dotted around the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Slow grown and free to roam on the swath of green hills and valleys; the result is exceptional tasting beef with an umami taste - rich, dense and flavourful.
