Diced beef recipes
There are lots of different diced beef recipes depending on the cut of beef you use. Quick-cooking cuts such as beef rump steak are ideal for dicing and threading onto skewers to make tasty kebabs. For slow cooker recipes, it’s best to make your own diced beef using cuts that are suited to long slow cooking, such as beef chuck steak or gravy beef. Cut the beef into 3cm pieces, trimming if necessary. Slow cooked diced beef stews, casseroles and curries are delicious as they are and make fantastic pie fillings too. To save time, you can also use bought diced beef in these recipes.
