These recipes you are posting look fantastic farfallina, my printer is working overtime this morning.  This one will be served with mashed potato.

farfallina, what is the meat like after cooking - is it soft and tender?

Does the meat break up at all farfallina? My fussy mob won't like it if the meat breaks up too much.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

@judydawn, mashed potato or rice would be great to serve with. Your printer might work some more cos I will post a few more recipes :)

@CreamPuff & cookie, my meat was soft and tender and didn't break at all! This surely depends on the meat you buy from the butcher's. As usual I bought non-fat beef. Depending on the quality of your meat you should cook less or more. I didn't chop very small but mid size cubes around 3-3,5cm.

what do you call your cut of beef - we may call ours 'chuck 'for a similar cheaper cut? do you think that a lower temp eg. 90 for a slighter longer cooking time might produce a more tender effect for a stew or not at all?

I usually ask Butcher's for an opinion
I tell him what I want and need so he delivers :)  :D
Or I judge by looking if I have to and I get less fat and most tender looking one.
Next week I will go to Butcher's. I ask him which part exactly I get the cut from and I tell you  ;)

Good work farfallina.  It is always good to have a reliable butcher.  I love this type of simple recipe for dinner.  :-* :-* :-*

Sorry for the delay.
I asked at Butcher's about the meat I bought and I was told that it was thigh cut. Several times I bought also neck cut
