Discover Braising Steak from The Black Farmer

Braising steak is a versatile cut ideal for slow cooking methods that tenderise the meat, making it perfect for hearty stews and casseroles. Sourced from tougher cuts of beef, such as the chuck or shoulder, braising steak is rich in flavour and becomes melt-in-the-mouth tender when cooked slowly.

What Steak is Braising Steak?

Braising steak typically comes from parts of the cow that work harder, like the shoulder or chuck. These cuts are less tender than others, but when slow-cooked, they break down beautifully, resulting in a deliciously tender and flavourful dish.

Is Braising Steak Tender?

While braising steak isn’t naturally tender, it becomes incredibly soft when cooked slowly over a low heat. The slow cooking process allows the collagen in the meat to break down, enhancing its tenderness and flavour.

Can I Cook Braising Steak Like Normal Steak?

Braising steak isn’t suitable for quick, high-heat cooking like grilling or frying. It’s best prepared using slow cooking methods, such as braising or stewing, to achieve the desired tenderness and depth of flavour.

What are the Benefits of Braising Steak?

Braising steak is a great option for slow-cooked meals that are both comforting and rich in flavour. This cut is often more affordable and can be used to create nutritious dishes packed with protein and flavour.

Storage Instructions

To preserve the quality and freshness of the Braising Steak, proper storage is essential. Store the bag of braising steak in the refrigerator at a temperature below 40°F (4°C). Ensure that the bag is tightly sealed to prevent any contamination or exposure to air. When stored correctly, the braising steak can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. If you don't plan to use it within that timeframe, you can also freeze the braising steak. Place the steak in airtight freezer-safe containers or resealable plastic bags, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Frozen braising steak can maintain its quality for approximately 3-4 months. Before cooking, thaw the steak in the refrigerator. It is important to cook thawed steak promptly and consume it within a few days for optimal taste and safety.
