Yes. Follow the Oxo instructions. Obviously real beef stock would be better again.

Hi kittykat,

Yes an oxo cube or any stock cube can be substituted for beef stock. Be careful about adding salt to the dish though as the cubes usually have more salt than homemade beef stock.

Yes, it is the same thing but it obviously won't be HM.

However, I just wanted to say, there is no such thing as a dumb question Please don't think something is dumb and certainly please don't be afraid to ask anything as how else would one learn?
