Monday, the 23rd of April, represents the beginning of a full week dedicated to Britain’s most respected and versatile ingredient: beef. This is how a few of London’s restaurants will celebrate it:
Social 24 has not only changed its name but has launched a new menu as well. Diners can enjoy a beautiful selection of dishes that use seasonal, British ingredients, with British beef taking centre stage in two of Social 24’s new dishes. The Buccleuch beef and stout pie can be found on the ‘Social Lunch Hour’ menu, with a thick, puffed pastry lid and a rich, meaty body, while the succulent Buccleuch estate beef fillet, served with duck-fat chips can be found on the evening A La Carte menu.
At LIMA London, guests can enjoy a mix of ingredients sourced from UK producers mixed with Peruvian cuisine. One such dish that combines British and Peruvian produce is the Loma Steak Huancaina which is served alongside Yellow Aji sauce and coriander cress. The beef used is a highly-marbled award-winning Rhub beef, made from grass-fed Aberdeen Angus which is aged for 35 days in a Himalayan salt walled chamber.
If you decide to celebrate Great British Beef Week at the refurbished Tom’s Kitchen Chelsea, choose from two exquisite beef small plates; Cumbrian beef tartare with black garlic aioli, new turnips, puffed rice and mustard seeds and melt-in-the-mouth Soya Braised Beef cheeks with garlic purée and cabbage.
Combine the flavours of Mexico with the local produce of the UK at Ella Canta. Choose the guest favourite Aberdeen Angus beef fillet with black chichilo mole, aubergine ashes and artichokes, served with a rich sauce incorporating up to 50 ingredients that complement the Scottish beef.
On Sunday, enjoy a Sunday Lunch at The Game Bird at The Stafford London. The star of the show is the roast British grass-fed beef carved tableside from a bespoke silver trolley and served with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and lashings of gravy.
