Slow cooked beef recipes

Cuts of beef are a great thing to slow cook because they break down over time, becoming meltingly tender in the mouth. We’ve brought together all our slow cooked beef recipes for you to peruse. We’re talking Malaysian slow cooked beef curries, Japanese style ribs, and ragùs which pack flavour that only time can bring. Why not try something perfect for winter in the form of our red wine enriched short rib and bean stew?

Slow cooking beef is common in Mexican cuisine too: try our Mexican-style barbecued brisket or a Tex-Mex black bean and beef chilli. Then again, maybe you fancy a pie? We’ve got plenty of those to choose from too.

Find something to love among these warming slow-cooked beef recipes including all the classics like bourguignon, stroganoff, oxtail and more.
