Beef

What could be more British than roast beef? There's so much more to this most versatile of meats though. From tender, juicy steaks like fillet or sirloin perfect for the BBQ, braising or pot boiling cuts like brisket or flank or more flavoursome, slow cooking cuts like shin and leg, chuck and blade; great in stews and casseroles.
