Preparation and Safety

Cooking instructions: Oven

Oven cook from chilled. If freezing at home, defrost thoroughly before cooking. Before cooking: Preheat oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C/Gas 5. Remove all packaging. Place flour in a bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss the diced beef in the flour to coat, shake off to remove any excess. Heat 5ml of oil in a heavy bottom hob and oven resistant casserole dish at a moderate heat. Once oil is hot add the beef and seal on all sides for 4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and rest for 2-3 minutes. Add a 300g mix of diced vegetables to the pan including carrot, onion and celery and lightly fry for 2 minutes on a high heat. During cooking: Add the beef and any juices to the pan and stir together for 1 minute on high heat. Add 220ml of water and 900ml of by Sainsbury's fresh beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cover with the lid or foil and place in the oven. Cook for 4 hours. After cooking: Check food is piping hot and no pink colour remains. Remove from stock to serve. All cooking appliances vary. This is a guide only.

Good meat for healthy soup based dishesWe pressure cook these in a soup based dish. It’s delicious and tender. Although, sometimes the batch we buy has too much fats and not much meat. We hope the quality of meat will be consistent with good shin meat.

TerribleThis is the worst meat I've ever had. 80% of it was just gristle and completley inedible. If I could have given zero stars I would have

Not as describedThis was sent as a substitute for diced organic beef. Unfortunately it was not refused on delivery so I decided to try it. It is described as diced beef shin. All I can say is that it is definitely not diced. There were pieces of meat of ranging from 1 cm to 4 cm of varying shapes. There was so much fat in it that it needed to be removed - a substantial amount - and this was very disappointing and time consuming. I will not make the error of accepting again.

Why dice it? Leave it whole !Whole point of beef shin is slow cooking large cuts . This has been cut too small so it disintegrates. Fine if you’re doing a chili or ragu but for a stew it just disappears

Not greatI was delighted to see this, as shin is difficult to get in supermarket deliveries. However, I wanted it to make a special boeuf bourguignon which needs good sized chunks of meat. The pieces in the pack were much too small but the flavour was fine and the meat made a nice tender stew.
All in all,not a bad buy but it depends what you want it for!

Excellent meatGoing to a supermarket these days to obtain a particular cut of beef is a challenge. I have to say that as a Sainsbury’s regular, I also use other supermarkets each one for particular things, they are excellent at providing Shin beef, others just say diced beef and try to fool you into thinking it’s shin. You can select one containing little fat or more, I prefer the more fat to give you a richer flavour. Sainsbury’s is the best seller of meat products.

Great for slow cooked stew!I buy this beef regularly. Contrary to a lot of reviews, I find it really tender and tasty. I think it depends on how you're cooking it. I use it for a beef stew. I coat it in seasoned flour, sautee it and cook it in a slow cooker with lots of veg for at least 5 hours. It comes out so incredibly tender and tasty. Perfect for winter months.
