You will find some of our favourite Highland Beef recipes on this page. Please check back regularly for new additions!
Hachis Parmentier
This is a typical French dish - Antoine Parmentier was a French military pharmacist in the late 18th century, who introduced the French to potatoes. The ‘Hachis’ (minced) Parmentier was originally made from left-over meat, minced and layered with mashed potatoes. The following recipe is a modern version.
Jardinière de Légumes
Meaning ‘vegetable garden’, this is a very popular vegetable dish served with beef in general, traditionally in the spring with all the fresh new vegetables – although it can be made all year round now. It certainly goes very well with our Highland Beef Roast or Steaks and is very quick and easy to prepare. There are different versions of the Jardinière, but here is our favourite one. Do not be put off by cooked lettuce, it really helps during the cooking and tastes very nice.
Beef Stew in Rich Red Wine and Brandy Sauce
A heart-warming dish on a cold winter’s day. If there is too much for one meal, you can freeze the rest and enjoy another lovely meal when you do not have the time to cook. The same recipe can also be used with game.
Mince and Tatties
This is a typical Scottish dish, so easy to make during the week - very popular in my family! This one is in memory of our Sister-in-Law, Carole. A very quick but greatly satisfying meal, best accompanied with some nice fresh bread and some full bodied red wine, not to forget the brown sauce!
Boeuf Bouguignon
A typical French recipe (with a few twists!), which is another heart-warming dish on a cold winter’s day. If there is too much for one meal, you can freeze the rest and enjoy another lovely meal when you do not have the time to cook.
Potato Gratin
This is a very nice alternative way of serving potatoes – I love the combination of the creamy potatoes and the crispy cheese on the top! It certainly goes very well with our pure Highland Beef or Lamb Roasts / Steaks / Chops, served with some vegetables and a pepper sauce or mushroom sauce. Always very popular with friends and family!
