Head Chef, Stuart Phillips and our Master butcher, Keith Alderson have joined forces to come up with an enormously tasty dish using a forgotten, rare cut of Beef – Jacob’s Ladder.

Speaking to our Master Butcher, Keith Alderson of Bridgnorth, Keith says

“Jacob’s Ladder is an extremely flavoursome cut of beef, which has been largely ignored in the past but is now becoming more and more popular as people rediscover these traditional cuts of meat.”

He went on to say,

“This cut is taken from the forequarter, near to the shoulder and we hang it in the time-honoured way for 21-28 days to get the very best flavour”

Head Chef, Stuart Phillips, says

“Jacob’s Ladder is the only meat which expands while cooking which means it absorbs whatever flavours you braise it with. We cook these slabs of beef ribs for 6 hours in Red Wine, Homemade Stock, Olives, Thyme, Bay, Garlic and Citrus Zest which gives the meat a delicious flavour.”

When asked how they served the dish he said

“We pull out the threads of succulent meat and roll them in to a sausage shape, which is sliced and served with Beef Fillet , Goats Cheese Ravioli & Roast Pepper Sauce. This dish is now our fastest seller and so many guests have been amazed by the depth of flavour that comes through.”
