Our farm shop had several lots of Beef Chine today (and not a lot else).

What is it and any suggestions for how to cook it before I go back and buy one?

    Chine is a cut of beef including some of the backbone. Samuel Pepys was very partial to this cut. This site - The Old Foodie - gives tips on how to cook it.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Ha!:) I've just been googling too, and yes, Pepys appears to have liked his chine of beef. There isn't much more info though. I think your best bet is to ask the seller how to cook it -they should be able to help.

    Thank you very much - I would have put money on you two coming up with an answer! Much appreciated. I can manage a small boy, a fireplace and the right joint of beef- so off we may have a go tomorrow.

    Two very nice young men serving today - who have more to do with the ironmongery side so they couldn't help me. May explain why they had five joints of chine and very little else.

    How long does chine of beef take to cook? I've got a fairly large piece in the oven now on 150. I covered it in salt, pepper, a couple of knobs of butter, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, 2 lemons and 4 chopped up tomatoes.

    ...Also it hadn't quite defrosted from this morning, but couldn't wait any longer as I was told 4 hours min... is that right at 150c?

    Me neither, but it looked nice the other week. Mine looked a lot like this one:

    It was very nice too with the lemon and herbs. Slightly to dry for my liking, but very tasty.

    I don't cook mine for that long, 2 hours at most. How long did you cook yours for in the end, and did you make lovely gravy out of the juices? :cool:


    I always wrap mine with foil, so the juices don't escpae.

    That pic looks like forerib to me - are they the same thing? If so I'd roast quickly rather than long and slow
