Slow Cooked Beef – FAQs

What is slow cooked beef?

Slow cooked beef is beef cooked at a low temperature over a long period, usually in a slow cooker, oven, or on the stovetop. This method tenderises tougher cuts of beef, resulting in rich, flavourful, and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

What cuts of beef are best for slow cooking?

The best cuts of beef for slow cooking are those with more connective tissue and fat, such as short ribs, brisket, and beef shin. These cuts break down over time, becoming tender and juicy.

Can I slow cook beef from frozen?

It’s not recommended to slow-cook beef from frozen, as it may spend too long at unsafe temperatures, risking bacterial growth. Its best to thaw the beef in the refrigerator before slow cooking.

What are some good seasonings for slow-cooked beef?

Common seasonings for slow-cooked beef include garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper. You can also use spice rubs, marinades, or sauces like barbecue or tomato-based sauces for added flavour.

Can I overcook beef in a slow cooker?

It is possible to overcook beef, especially when it comes to leaner cuts, which can quickly become dry and tough. To avoid this, it’s important to follow recommended cooking times and use cuts that naturally contain more fat and connective tissue. Also, roasting at a lower temperature can help preserve the moisture and tenderness of the beef.

How can I make my slow-cooked beef more flavourful?

For more flavourful slow-cooked beef, use a well-seasoned liquid like beef broth or wine, add aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, celery, and include fresh herbs and spices. If you brown the meat beforehand it also adds depth to the flavour.

How should I store leftovers from slow-cooked beef?

You can store leftover slow-cooked beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. We recommend following our freezing and defrosting tips by reheating your meat gently to avoid it drying out.
