Beef Recipes
35 RecipesThis collection brings together beef recipes from Swaledale’s chefs and contributors, from roasting joints and slow-cooked cuts to mince, offal and lesser-used parts of the carcass.
You’ll find beef shin, ox cheek, short ribs, tongue and liver alongside roasts, curries, pies and other slower dishes. Some cuts need little more than careful roasting, while others reward a long, gentle cook. For recipes centred on steak cuts, browse our Steak Recipes collection.
Melissa’s Rich & Warming Slow-Cooked Oxtail Curry
Curry dishes are hugely popular in Jamaica, thanks to the indentured servants to who arrived after emancipation in the early 19th century to make up the labour shortfall once slavery had been abolished. Curry goat and curry chicken are the best-known dishes, but Curry Oxtail is a close contender. It’s a stunning dish, one that is best started a few days before you intend to eat it.
Ox Tongue with Beetroot & Horseradish Cream
Just the kind of thing we eternally hope to find in a remote pub with uncomfortable furniture, a glowing fire and a stone floor.
Barbecued Ox Tongue with Black Leeks
A primitive and deeply rewarding feast. Smoked ox tongue is poached to a “wobble,” then finished over charcoal with a spiced paint until richly caramelised. Served alongside leeks grilled to jet-black carbon and dressed with lemon and chilli, it is a masterclass in using humble, economical cuts to create something eye-rollingly delicious.
Val’s Chinese Crispy Chilli Beef
Try Val’s devastatingly delicious Chinese Crispy Chilli Beef recipe — a quick, budget-friendly dish with Sichuan-inspired flavours. Perfect for a midweek treat, served with rice and an ice-cold beer.
Venetian-Style Beef Liver
This Venetian-Style Beef Liver recipe, or alla Veneziana, highlights the rich flavour of ox liver. While not as creamy as calves’ liver, it’s incredibly delicious when lightly floured, fried in butter, and combined with vinegar and meltingly tender onions for a truly flavourful dish.
Steak & Kidney Pudding
A traditional steak and kidney pudding with rich beef and kidney stew encased in suet pastry. A comforting British classic, perfect for hearty suppers.
Roast Bone-In Sirloin with Jerusalem Artichokes & Shallots
I serve roast bone-in sirloin with sweet Jerusalem artichokes, shallots, cavolo nero and crispy bone marrow for a properly indulgent feast.
Massaman Curry
Massaman curry is known throughout the world but most traditional recipes I’ve encountered are highly time consuming and complex. Don’t let that put you off as the rewards are great for those that want to make this Muslim-Thai curry at home.
Smoky Beef Rib Taco with Beans, Pickled Radish & Bourbon Salsa
Beef short rib tacos with beans, pickled radish and bourbon-chocolate salsa — big, bold and made for sharing.
Steak & Onion Pie
A classic steak and onion pie with tender beef, sweet onions, and rich gravy baked under golden pastry. A comforting British favourite, perfect with mash.
