A good standby for the freezer!
Not sure I agree with the reviews this Braised Beef and Mash gets. I always oven cook it and have yet to have one with tough meat. I know it recommends microwave cooking but oven cooked, either from fresh or frozen, has never yet produced a meal where the meat is tough. I am ultra fussy and if it was full of gristle I would not be buying it again, in fact it is one of my standby freezer meals. Have also not found any fat so maybe oven cooking is the answer to all those who say it is tough and fatty. A great meal for a chilly day, just add some veg of your choice.
Totally inedible
This so called "Classic Kitchen" ready meal is an absolute disgrace. The beef content is described as "Beef slow cooked for three hours until tender". Tesco should be prosecuted for contravening the trades description act. The beef is as tough as "old boots" with added gristle. It's truly awful and totally inedible.
In my last 2 orders, the BEEF was very tough.

Won't buy again
The mash, carrots and gravy were delicious but the meat was so tough couldn't chew it , disappointed.
Waste of money, a horrendous product!
Poor quality, tough and lots of gristle. If only I'd read the other reviews before buying this. Tesco, why stock this after so many dire reviews from your customers? It's terrible!
Do not buy
Absolutely disgusting. There's no way that beef had been slow cooked for 3 hours. It was mostly gristle, the mash was tasteless and the carrots inedible. I will definitely not be buying it again.
BEEF DISGUSTING,MAINLY FAT AND GRISTLE
THE QUALITY AND TASTE WAS NOT VERY GOOD,THE BEEF WAS OFF VERY CHEAP CUTS CONSISTING MAINLY OF FAT AND GRISTLE,I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT BUY IT AGAIN.
Very poor
Poor quality. I personally am a believer that simple meals like this aren’t hard to get wrong but this was just weak. The meat wasn’t great but I didn’t expect it to be prime cuts but the overall flavour of the stew was just bland as if no seasoning and herbs had been used at all. Most surprising of all was the carrots just tasted weird
Poor quality.
Not very nice at all. The meat tasted very fatty, albeit reasonably tender and the carrots were hard. The gravy wasn’t seasoned and had a slightly bitter taste. Maybe the poor quality was just a one off but we won’t be buying it again.
Not much taste
