Beef recipes

Beef no good. Beef dry.

There was no oven temp for this recipe so i assumed it was the same as the beef stew.

Moderate oven (180°C/350°F or Gas Mark 4)
Lovely recipe for beef cobbler.

My 8 year old son had beef cobbler at school and asked me to make it at home for him. I found this recipe and made it today, it was beautiful. My son loved it and gave it a 9 :0) and I'd give it 10.

Being Welsh I added leek to it too, and because i've recently lost 10 stone i chose not to have the topping. Delicious, we'll definatley have it again. Thanks

I tried this recipe out on my family last weekend and they all loved it!! I have never cooked with shallots before and although I did not enjoy peeling them one bit, it was worth it. The taste of the whole dish was an explosion of flavours,shallots definately taste better then onions,the wine, the flavour of the bacon, it was absolutely delicious. I will certainly be cooking this receipe again.

I cooked this recipe for the first time last weekend and whilst I changed a few of the ingredients it was largely as per the recipe. very tasty and the longer the cooking time the better. Will definitely cook again

I finally sat down and tasted my beef casserole and it was lovely, very very tasty...will definitely cook this again...i agree with diane gill, longer the cooking time the tastier it will be...

Made this loads of times now and its simply amazing.

I've made this for years and always thought it was cottage pie!

So exactly what is the difference between Cumberland Pie and Cottage Pie. And is there a difference between Cottage Pie and shepherds pie?

I'm sure Cumberland Pie has pickle included in the recipe making it different from Shepherds Pie (with minced lamb) and Cottage Pie (with minced beef). the way to remember the difference between these last two is shepherds look after sheep - hence lamb/shepherds pie.

Just glancing through the ingredients, I wondered "where are the carrots?". Then saw them written into Method. Suppose 2-3 carrots, but are they better grated or sliced?

SLICED DEFINITELY

This was excellent!!! Enjoyed it so much we could have ate it all over again!!!!

My nine year old daughter pauline-May and I made this one saturday afternoon and we all had some of it for our evening meal with steamed vegetable and it went down very well. Will be doing it again thats for sure. Doesn`t cost the earth and with ingredients we had in either the fridge the freezer or the cardboard. Brilliant recipe thank you Pauline-May and mum Nikola xx

Made this last night with my 7 yr old daughter! Didnt need much to fill the belly! Very tasty indeed! Nice to have a recipe where you have all the ingredients in the house and not all these fancy things youve never heard of! Definately become a regular meal in my household!

We have made it before lots of times but were making it again we love it :D:D very very tasty :D

I don't see egg in ingredients! Very confusing for a complete cookery novice like me. Recipe sounds good though, I'll try it tomorrow.

Whoops! Fixed

I like challenges this reciept will do just fine for me,am now going to the kitchen to get things started, so will let you know the results tomorrow

Tried it. Found it pretty bland

DUHHH!!! ever tried not putting the tomatoes in. Recipes aren't set in stone ya know *rolls eyes*

Being a 19 year old girl and being interested in cooking I was looking for a basic stew recipe. I too do not like tomatoes but with a few tweaks to the recipe and some use of common sense I made a really nice stew. I think its a good recipe for first time stew makers!

This is a Casserole not a stew. Stew is cooked in a pan on the hob, casserole in a casserole dish in the oven.

Guys, honestly. If you don't like the stew, just say what it needed, and that's it. Doon't go dissin something because it has something your alergic to, be smart.. and take it from the recipe, or be dumb and chirp.

Serve with red cabbage and raisins

Would have thought that an addition of Swede and Pearl Barley might boost the recipe somewhat.

I loved rissoles as a kid and I always thought that pearl barley was included. Indeed, that is how I knew the difference between a rissole and a fishcake!

I love rissoles they are the best tasting food eva i like to mix things up by adding diffrent things into it to make it taste diffrent with a little diffrent flavour.
My family likes them and they enjoy what i cook for them and they like the diffrent flavours that i make with the rissoles and they enjoy it so i cook them every second day of the week.

Surely... its not lamb

I always thought that it was Shepherd's Pie was made with lamb and Cottage Pie was made with beef!! I guess somewhere along the line there was some confusion :)

Shepherd's pie is made with lamb (hence 'shepherds') cottage pie is made with beef :)

Does it matter?? Hamburgers are made from beef!! How about getting a life yeah?

Nice, but why no potatoes?

There is no need for potatoes due to the dumplings.

Made mine with potatoes and kidneys added also. Delicious!!!

Poatatoes thickens the gravy and you need sweed in it to, cut little chunks or the sweetness of the gravy and big chunks for the satisfying taste of vegeatble.

Add a grated carrot and a clove or two of crushed/grated garlic to get extra flavour going (during step 1). This dish is a great way to get kids eating veg without knowing it!

This is a nice recipe for a healthy and enjoyable meal.

Amazingly easy, healthy, and a tasty all-in-one dish.

I added a 2 bay leaves to meat when putting into oven... tasted gooood

The recipe under "Greek Recipes" is much better than this one.

Great recipe, simple ingredients really easy to make. Thanks

This recipe clearly states 2 eggs

Nice quick recipe good with some oregano. Thank You

If anyone's not keen on kidney beans, i substituted them for a tin of baked beans at the end of cooking time and it worked well

I added cumin powder to this as well which made it even better! Very easy to make, wonderful in flavour, fool proof... well recommended

What's not to like about kidney beans - they taste of nothing!!? I added worcester sauce to give it a bit of depth. Yummy!

I'ts a good idea to rub some oil into your hands before handling fresh chllis - it stops the juice from penetrating into your skin

I add ground corriander, cumin & basil too

You don't use minced beef.. you think the mexicans had mincing machines
just beef chunks.. there's no chillis in this recipe.. what?
you brown the meat seperately from the sauce
in the sauce you need to toast the outside of the skins before adding them
you much up half the kidney beans this helps release starch and thicken the sauce

chocolate.. you need at least 70% cocoa solid.. but don't use too much

NO PARSLEY OR CINNAMON (seen that in other recipes).. what spacker came up with that idea

there's something else but i'd have to kill you if i told you.. make your way to rigby's place for the real deal.. london soho

Some angry comments there! not everyone is as knowledgeable as you, or perhaps pretentious? or else they wouldnt be looking up the recipie.

Its a basic recipe, if you know how to cook, you also know you can adjust this recipe according to your personal taste. No need to be offended by it.

Why would a person that knows how to cook a recipe then go and look it up...? :-S
Just to be-little a person that writes a simple yet classic version of a nice recipe or maybe just to try and brag onto a load of unnecessary additional ways to cook it?

It could have been simply suggested to add other ingredients or ideas but instead was put forward in a rubbish manner.
Sorry but, whats retarded...? More like who.

Its a nice, basic / classic and finer way of cooking Chilli Con Carne. Obviously all sorts can be added to any recipe. Each persons shall no doubt be different (-:

Lasagne sheets missed off the list of ingredients!

Add some peppers and a little chilli puree to add a little bit of spice to the recipe.

I guess it's kinda obvious if you want to make a lasagne that you buy lasagne sheets!

They didnt have lasange sheets but if your making lasange you obvisly need lasange sheets !! lol

"2 x 500 g tubs four cheese sauce" the for should be spelt like "for" not "four"
and good recipe anyway

The "four" is correct coz the sauce has 4 different types of cheese in it. Sorry to correct your correction, but, in this case , there is NO spelling mistake !!!

Its a shame, a lovely recipe but i do not think i will be using any pre bought cheese sauce mix! its so easy to make cheese sauce yourself! flour butter milk and cheese et voila!

Thanks for a great recipe - and whats is wrong with pre-made cheese sauce!!

Very strong beef I loved it.

Lovely recipe will make again.

This recipe is great nd very tasty!

It was lovely will do it again

Edible but underwhelming. I wish I knew why...

I made too much potatoe and mince, so decided to eat them seperatly whilst waiting for the pie to cook. They taste better seperatly than together.

Does any one know of a low fat version of cumberland pie other than replacing full fAT CHEESE FOR LOW FAT

Greatly improved by using grated Cheddar instead of cream cheese in the potatoes - and I also stirred in a tbsp of chilli sauce!

The English would alwyas eat this roast hot with gravy, roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding

I am English and I have never heard of putting the roast in the refrigerator before carving. Yuk it sounds horrible.What we do is to take the Roast out of the oven and let it stand for a short time prior to cutting.

I expect this is a bit like french toast and english muffins... try slowly roasting your ribs at about 160c, 200c is way too high!

Like midge i also eat it with sunday roast trimmings and make the gravy with juices NOT horseradish sauce!

This recipe was amazing!

I agree, Superb recipe, fabulous taste, will be making this Bolognese again and again.

A great recipe. I've found that a dash of Worcester Sauce and a beef stock cube (try not to get a salty one) are useful additions, and try grating the carrot. If the sauce is too runny for your liking, one to two tea spoons of plain flour just thickens it very slightly.

Great recipe could of added a few spices to give it a twist

It would be nice to be able to print the recipes without have all the other printing around it.

Made this for dinner tonight, it's really lovely...

Really liked these, all ingredients very easily attaned and very easy and quick recipe... wll definitely make these again..
