Making the most of it !

Hi All,

Well, I did a very NON moneysaving thing this week... I bought a beef rib roast as I keep hearing chefs on TV rage on about how much better they are than the cuts we're sold as roast joints generally - so off I popped to my local farm shop and asked for one...then nearly fainted at the price !!

Anyway I cooked it today and I have to say it was FANTASTIC the best roast beef I have ever tasted - and I'm sure thats not my cooking !! so It was thoughly enjoyed by the family and now I am left with a large bone with fat and scraps of meat. How can I make the most of whats left and feel I somehow got my moneys worth ?!?!

Giving the dog the bone is an option, but I'm sure you will have other ideas ....

All ideas appreciated,

TIA

Give the bone to the dog! You all had a lovely treat, the dog deserves one as well!!!!!

make some stock, you could freeze it in cubes and use it in loads of stuff.

hi

we have a rib roast about once a month - it's an indulgence I know, but sooo worth it! We usually buy a big enough joint so that I can do a curry with the leftovers on the Monday. Otherwise, as already suggested, make some stock.
