Why Use Gravy Beef?
I do get asked all the time why I love using Gravy Beef in my casserole and slow cooker recipes. The reason is that gravy beef has a slightly higher fat content than other stewing meat – but that fat means taste. So any beef casserole is really bought to life using Gravy Beef. I find that other beef stewing meats also end up a bit tough when cooked for a long time – as gravy beef doesn’t seem to do that.
But it is up to you – if you are really watching your weight, try reducing your portion size rather than having chewy beef that you don’t enjoy!
Have your say!
