Love Eating Well:
This dish clocks in at under a third of the Reference Intake (RI) for calories, sugar, salt, fat and saturated fat for an adult … and are made just like you would at home.
Depending on what and how much you serve with the dish, it may creep over a third of your RI. But that shouldn’t be an issue if it’s your main meal of the day.
- Winner of numerous Great Taste Awards, this French classic is one of our most popular dishes.
- British top rump beef, aged for at least 21 days, is braised for almost four hours, and about a glass of Merlot in every portion.
Try it with:
- Celeriac mash. Fry small cubes of celeriac in oil for 5 mins, then add thyme and rosemary, cover with water and simmer for 25 minutes until soft. Drain and mash.
- Some steamed asparagus spears, tenderstem or purple sprouting broccoli, kale or French beans all work wonderfully on the side.
- Try roasting some shallots in the oven with a dressing of balsamic vinegar, sea salt, demerara sugar and olive oil. 180 degrees for 15 minutes and they're ready.
