Braised beef: four cuts of beef ideal for slow cooking

It is that time of year where we start to crave richer fare and slow-cooked meat dishes are an essential part of that. Time is their friend: as they slowly braise at low temperatures, you not only get resonant, rich flavours and meltingly tender meat but also a rich, nourishing sauce or stock to go with it. Braising slowly turns the collagen in meat into unctuous gelatine, creating a mouthfeel like no other.
