Cut Overview
About This Cut
Moombra dice their gravy beef (shin) rather than chuck. Shin is leaner than chuck but loaded with connective tissue that breaks down into rich gelatin during a long, slow braise. The pieces hold their shape better than chuck and the resulting sauce is silkier. Sear in batches before braising for better flavour. Braise covered at 150-160°C for 2.5 hours for tender pieces, or 3 hours if you want them starting to pull apart for pies.

▼You'll NeedWatch the Cook
500g Moombra diced beef (gravy beef)2 tbsp beef tallow or olive oil2 tbsp Gibson seasoning1 knob butter (optional)Squeeze of lemon to finish
Method1Pat the cubes completely dry with paper towel. Wet meat will steam, not sear.
2Toss the cubes with the Gibson seasoning until evenly coated. Let sit 10 minutes at room temperature.
3Heat tallow in a heavy pan (cast iron is ideal) over high heat until smoking.
4Add cubes in a single layer. Do not crowd the pan, work in batches if needed. Leave undisturbed for 90 seconds to develop a hard sear on the first side.
5Toss and sear the remaining sides, 60 seconds each. Total cook time 3-4 minutes for medium-rare interior with a deep crust.
6Add the butter at the end and toss to coat. Finish with a squeeze of lemon. Serve straight from the pan.

Diced gravy beef tossed in Gibson seasoning, hard-seared in tallow on cast iron. Crusty outside, tender inside, ready in under 15 minutes.
Tip: Gravy beef is leaner than chuck so it cooks faster and dries out quickly if overdone. Pull the cubes when the centre is still pink. The Gibson seasoning carries enough salt and pepper that you do not need anything else.
