Hey all, been looking at YouTube slow cooker recipies on YouTube and I know meat over here is super expensive, but does anyone know if some of these cheaper cuts exist? Colesworth never seem to have any these days, and I think I’ve only seen gravy beef once at Aldi which I’m guessing is the best thing. Any idea where I’d get something that’s happy to site in the slow cooker for 8 hours that won’t cost me a kidney?
Cheaper cuts are what you want - chuck /casserole meat. It’s cheaper because it’s tougher, which means it’s perfect for a slow cook to break down and tenderise
If you’re learning about meat from American youtubers you’re learning American terminology for a cow being butchered in the American method. Thats a whole other rabbit hole once you involve the british and french methods…
Chuck beef is the cheapest and best for slow cooking and its usually pretty easy to find. Its not necessarily “cheap” but it stretches.
