The steaks have never been higher!
With the cost of meat on the rise, opting for cheaper cuts is a great strategy, but this doesn’t mean you sacrifice on flavour. In fact, it’s the opposite! Harder working cuts like shoulder and neck cuts are beautifully deep in flavour and tender when slow cooked. Use TM6 Slow cooking mode to create sumptuous meals all the family will love. Try pork shoulder in this Pulled Pork Burger.
Another great tip is to mince your own meat in Thermomix®. Yes, it’s so easy to do and gives you 100% control over what goes into your mince! Buy cheaper cuts, like chuck steak, then use Turbo mode to mince from slightly frozen. Find the recipe here on Cookidoo® and then use your mince in whatever recipes most take your fancy. We’re loving Meatballs in tomato sauce at the moment!
Go “flexitarian” and opt for Meatfree Mondays!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, opting for seasonal produce is the best way to save money on groceries (you can read more on eating with the seasons here) and eating more plants is both great for your health and the planet. A “Flexitarian” approach to eating means you eat everything you’d like to, choosing meat less and plants more.
Trial swapping out meat for seasonal veg a few times a week. Take advantage of the abundance of pumpkins currently in season with a Pumpkin and ricotta cannelloni or swap beef for mushrooms in this Mushroom bolognaise. For more veggie inspiration, check out the Plant to Plate collection on Cookidoo®.
