Cooking Guide:

Slow-Braised Beef Feather Blade (serves approx. 3 per 500g)

Ingredients:

• Fresh Halal British Beef Feather Blade (Boneless)
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 2 carrots (sliced)
• 2 celery stalks (sliced)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• Beef stock or water
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste (optional)
• Thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves (optional)
• Cooking oil

Preparation:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160°C (Fan 140°C) or Gas Mark 3.
2. Season the Beef: Season the feather blade with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Brown the Beef: Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the beef on all sides for 4-5 minutes until browned, creating a rich crust.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the same pan. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomato paste for added richness, if desired.
5. Transfer to a Casserole Dish: Place the browned feather blade and vegetables in a large casserole dish. Add enough beef stock or water to cover the beef halfway. For added depth of flavor, include herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
6. Slow Cook in the Oven: Cover the dish with a lid or foil and cook in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
7. Rest and Serve: Allow the beef to rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with the flavorful cooking juices and vegetables.

Grilling or Pan-Searing Option:
For a quicker meal, slice the feather blade thinly and pan-sear over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or grill it for the same amount of time for a slightly charred finish.

Not Suitable for Microwave Cooking.
