About beef

You are usually better doing your shopping at a proper butcher instead of a self-service store. A specialist butcher should really serve a better range of beef cuts than the self-service store, he will know the history of his beef, is more likely to have looked after it correctly, and he will be able to advise you on how best too cook it.
