These are Delia Smith’s beef recipes, from a slow beef stew to a Sunday roast. We make them straight from her own cookbooks, and we never invent a recipe. Each page we update names her book and the year, and gives her real amounts step by step.
Start with her beef bourguignon, cooked slowly in red Burgundy wine, or her beef in beer, cooked in light ale. They show you how to cook beef her way, and how to use a slow cooker too. For a darker stew, try her beef in Guinness with pickled walnuts, or her paprika-spiced Hungarian goulash.
For minced beef recipes, there is chilli con carne, cottage pie, lasagne, a bolognese sauce and her meatballs in goulash sauce. For a quick supper, try beef stroganoff or corned beef hash, and for a special day, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding or her beef wellington.
