This is for the Tesco counter stewing beef (also available online).
I bought a 2.5kg slab yesterday and it is now cleaned and diced and is stewing with lots of onions and OXOs and will be used in various ways over the coming week.
I did this recipe a couple of weeks ago when it was on offer at £6/kg and the results were great (tried it with more expensive stuff and didn't work as well). Great for making pies, curries, stews. Needs about 4-5h on the hob or a slow cooker would work well.

Did you make any into mince? I got a meat grinder gathering dust and fancied trying it out.

There isn't a great deal of fat in this; the 2.5kg lump that I had came down to 2.3 once I had removed the skin and a few fatty bits. I removed a few thick tendons, but left most of these in as they help the stock! So yes, it would be great for making sauces, but I would not suggest burgers!

15 minutes in the pressure cooker.

Yup that's my way too.
Stews, beans, lentils, soups all in minutes. No idea why pressure cookers are not the standard in most homes.

That's right, and the Finest was also reduced by £2, but the fat content is 15% for normal and 12% for Finest so not much difference anyway. For anything over 5% fat I always brown and then drain it as much as possible and replace by olive oil.
Just thrown the carrots in- be perfect in 3h

Yes, used to love them until I found what they are made of- flour and beef suet (ie, fat!).

you can get the vegetarian non meat fat version, its still fattening but not animal hard fat, it still makes lovely dumplings.
