options tailored to your needs, let us take a look at some of the best meat
dishes you can create at home to please your guests.
One of the easiest recipes to start with has to include
possibly the most popular meat on earth: chicken. This highly adaptable meat
can be prepared in numerous ways suitable for all tastes, but with a few modern
twists can really stand out as a new family favourite.
Beer Can Chicken
Sweet and spicy beer can chicken has to go down as one of
the most popular modern takes on the traditional chicken in recent times. With
a few seasonal ingredients and the addition of a popular can of beer, you can
create an unforgettable meal that can serve a large family. Bring together
paprika, cayenne pepper, fennel, cumin and coriander seeds with your favourite
BBQ sauce to create a paste. Add a spoon of dark brown sugar to allow the
mixture to stick to the chicken meat and season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle the mixture
over the top of your chicken. Open the can of beer and pour out (or drink!)
roughly two thirds of it then gently lower the chicken carcass over the top of
the can upright. Cook the chicken on gas mark 6/400F for roughly an hour and
ten minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Paste again with your BBQ
sauce and return to the oven for a further ten minutes.
The beer remaining in the car will gently release moisture
into the chicken and allow the meat to be succulently moist. The chicken will
only gently taste of some aromas from the beer, and by using different
varieties can create a personalised beer can chicken to your tastes. Serve the
chicken with seasonal vegetables, fries or potatoes to complete the meal.
Traditional Roast Beef
With quality meat will come exceptional taste, so why not
make the most out of high quality beef cuts than to create the perfect
traditional roast beef meal. A traditional topside cut of beef will be
perfectly adequate for this traditional recipe and allow you to take advantage
of the great price that this particular cut sells for.
Prepare the beef by ensuring that it is brought up to room
temperature at least an hour before cooking commences. Preheat the oven to
roughly 450C and start to wash the vegetables. In season vegetables are always
best as they will be freshest, so choose a favourite variety of potato, carrot
garlic and herbs and wash them thoroughly.
Place the vegetables onto a large roasting tray and season
with salt and pepper to taste. Place the beef on top of the vegetables and make
sure it is securely seated. Drizzle the vegetables and beef with olive oil
gently and use salt and pepper to rub into the meat. Make sure you cover all of
the meat before cooking. Cook for roughly one hour, but if you like your beef
medium rare, take the meat out 5 to 10 minutes early and check temperatures.

the nations favourite meat dishes to choose from, the high quality meat you
choose will always go down a treat. Take advantage of online meat suppliers who
can offer free delivery, and try something new each time you order. If you keep
