Suitable for freezing

Our braising steak is British or Irish beef, expertly prepared by our butchers using quality chuck, a cut known for its rich flavour and excellent results when cooked low and slow.

Supplied in whole pieces rather than diced, braising steak gives you flexibility in the kitchen. Cook each piece whole, cut into chunks for casseroles, or use it for slow cooker beef, steak pie filling, stews and rich gravy-based dishes.

This is not a quick-fry steak. Braising steak is at its best when browned first, then cooked gently with stock, gravy, vegetables or sauce until tender. Given time, it becomes beautifully soft and full of proper beef flavour.

Available in 450g packs and 1kg packs. The 1kg pack is ideal for batch cooking, family meals and slow cooker recipes.

Hand-prepared, so weight and number of pieces may vary slightly.

Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Braising Steak

Braising steak is best cooked low and slow. Remove from the packaging and allow it to sit at room temperature for around 5 to 10 minutes before cooking.

Season well, then sear the meat on both sides in a hot frying pan with a little oil for around 2 to 3 minutes in total.

Transfer to a casserole dish, add vegetables, stock, gravy or your chosen sauce, then cover and braise in the oven at 180°C, 160°C fan, Gas Mark 4 for around 2 hours 30 minutes, or until tender.
