Don’t usually share work things here but couldn’t resist this one. We’ve just launched a competition to find the very best festive Welsh Beef recipe in the run up to Christmas.

There are some fab prizes – including some on-the-spot ones for anyone following the competition online. If you’re interested in finding out more pop along to the Welsh Beef facebook page or follow @PGIWelshBeef on twitter.

I’m using it as a shameless excuse to re-share my favourite beef recipes. If I was allowed to enter, it would be the brisket recipe for me – one of my favourite meals of the year.

Here they are – six of the best beefy easyteas:

Brisket – Southwestern style pulled beef

German meatballs – fake rabbits in a sour cream sauce

Slow cooked beef and mushroom hotpot

Ragu – just like me mum used to make

A big pot of chilli con carne

Speedy beef Stroganoff

Best bolognese ever in minutes
