    Recipe Ideas for beef joint

    Have just been given a large fore rib joint which I really need to eat tonight as am away all weekend. I don't really want a roast dinner, does anyone have any interesting recipe ideas?

    I sometimes pick up joints from the whoops section in Asda. They are usually on the turn and need scoffing that night. I cut them in to steaks, marinade and barbecue them.

    Probly doesn't help much as it's winter, but maybe cutting them into steaks is a good idea, then you can freeze some?

      Does freezing not ruin the quality of the meat?

        Rib joint is only really suited to roasting or braising and requires at least 3 hours cooking unfortunately.

        If you can't eat it now, stick it in the freezer and have it another time.

          Chop it into small lumps and make a nice beef curry

            You need someone who isn't a for that one.

              Remove from packaging, wash it, dry it with paper towel and place DRY into your fridge, uncovered and on a plate / bowl and let it age...beef will dry-age in your fridge, undisturbed for at least 10 days past its "use by" date - it will lose some weight through evaporation but will taste much better!

                +1 But it's utterly awesome done right
                I'd give Scruff's dry ageing thing a try.

                  Dry -aging smaller joints is not effective, it only really works with larger joints in specially ventilated fridges.

                  You leave a joint of meat in your fridge for weeks and the condensation will cause it to go mouldy.
