SPICED BEEF

Spiced Beef is one of the great Irish traditional Christmas dishes.  We use a family recipe of spices that has been passed down through three generations of Cullens Quality Butchers. 


To enjoy Cullens Quality Butchers’ award winning 
succulent Spiced Beef, follow these cooking instructions:
 



Ingredients:                                              3lbs Spiced Beef
                                                                250 ml (0.50pt) Guinness
                                                                Water
                                                                2-3 bay leaves
                                                                Black Peppercorn
                                                                Whole Onion
                                                                Whole Carrot

Place beef in pot and add cold water to cover.
Add bay leaves, peppercorns, whole onion and whole carrot.
Bring to the boil and allow to simmer gently for approx. 45
minutes per lb. (i.e. 2.5 hours for a 3lb piece).
Add Guinness and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and allow to cool for an hour.
Remove meat and drain.
Equally delicious served hot or cold.
To store, place in airtight container or wrap in aluminum foil.

When eating cold, we recommend serving with 
wholemeal brown bread 
and garnished with beetroot, red cabbage and gherkins.
or 
slice thinly 
serve on brown bread 
and with a fruit chutney  
   
Liam, Robert and all the Staff at Cullens wish all their Customers 
a Very Happy Christmas and New Year

 

Spiced Beef......now that is a real highlight of Christmas!
