Our diced beef comes from our grass-fed cattle raised on our family's Granite Belt farms, cut into uniform pieces that cook evenly and hold together through a long braise without falling apart into nothing. There's real flavour here because there's real beef here: no water injection, no shortcuts, no mystery cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether it's a Sunday beef stew, a richly spiced curry, a Portuguese-style braised beef, or a simple weeknight casserole, this is the starting point that makes the end result worth eating. It freezes beautifully in portions, which makes it ideal for batch cooking and stocking the freezer for busy weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Farm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrass-fed \u0026amp; finished on our family's Granite Belt farms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo added hormones or antibiotics — ever\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniform dice for even cooking in braises and curries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for batch cooking — freeze in portions for easy weeknight meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCook It Right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeef Stew (oven or stovetop):\u003c\/strong\u003e Toss diced beef in flour and season. Brown in batches in a heavy pot with oil over high heat — don't crowd the pan, or it steams instead of sears. Set aside. Cook onion, carrot, and garlic in the same pot. Deglaze with red wine or stock. Return beef, add more stock to just cover. Braise at 160°C (or low stovetop) for 1.5–2 hours until tender. Add root vegetables in the last 45 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeef Curry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown diced beef in batches. Add aromatics and curry paste or spices.
