Budget food/living

braising steak/stewing steak.
i like proper sirloin now and again but the cheaper cuts of beef cooked in a tagine or casserole for a couple of hours are real tasty, never really bothered with it before but i prefer it to lamb which is stupidly expensive at the mo.
i usually buy 3 packs for a tenner in sainsburys.

Since I'm broke I cook beef casserolles for the whole family. In fact I had one today.
Two packets of fine sliced stir fry steak will cost £6 (stweing meat is even cheaper). Add a packet of mushroom and some baby carrots, onion, maybe leek, a pot of beef gravy, a packet of ready made mix and you have a full dish which will last a week. And it takes 1.5 hrs to make. With a normal cheaper stweing beef around 2.5 hrs.
