Robin Hirst's family have spent generations farming a traditional English estate in the Tees Valley. His home reared cattle are kept on grassy parkland where they roam and graze throughout the summer. This great British beef is melt in the mouth tender and perfectly partnered by The Durham Brewery's Black Velvet Porter which adds smooth, dark, richness to the gravy. Potatoes and onion complete this simple yet wonderfully rich dish.

Serving suggestion
Serve this melt in the mouth beef casserole with some crunchy tenderstem broccoli and a wedge of seed topped bread, for a fabulous, wholesome meal in minutes.

Pack Size
300g

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. No need for refrigeration. If pack is leaking or damaged do not use.

Hob:
Empty the contents into a saucepan. Warm over a medium heat and heat thoroughly until piping hot, stirring regularly.

Microwave (based on a 750W Microwave):
Microwave ovens vary, the following is a guide only. Gently shake pouch for 10 secs then make a small tear on either side of the pouch where indicated. If you have problems with the height of the pouch in your microwave, it is fine to remove the top of the pouch to fit - just make sure to stir well half way through cooking.
Heat on full power for 2 minutes.Stir halfway through cooking time. Allow pouch to stand for 1 minute before serving (caution contents will be hot).

Boil in the Bag:
All our dishes can be boiled in the pouch. Immerse the sealed pouch in sufficient boiling water and warm for 5 - 10 minutes, heating time can be dependent on ambient conditions (wind etc if you're outdoors). Do make sure that the food is piping hot prior to eating, there should be no danger from underheating the dishes - they could, in theory, be eaten cold! - but to ensure they taste their best in is always best to heat them thoroughly to allow the flavours to develop.
TIP: If you like to use the hot water for your cup of tea afterwards, then the labels can be removed by soaking in warm water prior to your trip.
