500g Diced Braising Steak

Braising steak, also known as stew meat or pot roast, is a cut of beef that is best cooked using a slow and low-heat method such as braising. This cut of meat is typically taken from the chuck, round, or shoulder of the cow and contains more connective tissue than other cuts, which results in a tougher texture but also a deeper beefy flavor. This cut is perfect for dishes that call for long cooking times such as stews, pot roasts, and braises, which will break down the connective tissue and make the meat more tender.

The braising method of cooking involves browning the meat on high heat, then cooking it in a liquid such as stock, wine or beer, with vegetables and seasonings, usually in a covered pot on low heat. This method helps to infuse the meat with the flavors of the liquid and other ingredients, and also makes it more tender.

Braising steak is a very versatile cut and can be used in many different types of dishes. From the traditional beef stew, pot roast and casseroles, to different cuisine dishes like barbacoa, boeuf à la bourguignonne and even in a Asian-style curry.
