Beef Neck – probably the most underrated cut of beef overall. Simmered for soup or braised in red wine sauce, the texture and taste of this cut is only surpassed by beef shank. On top of that, since few people use it, it is the cheapest of all beef cuts, pound for pound. I hope it stays under-appreciated by most folks for much longer, so I can buy it often and in large quantities without breaking the bank 🙂

My mom used to make soup like that but there was never that much meat and a lot more water, but it was delicious just the same.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a house with a stockpot, and my grandmother used to take me to the butcher (food rationing was continuing) to get bones for that pot. The soups and stews produced therefrom affected my menu preferences, considerably.
This is a very interesting soup, but one for colder weather, methinks: London is currently sweltering with temperatures in the nineties, high humidity and no domestic air conditioning. It won’t last, of course, but rainfall is down by over 80% this month, and the farmers are concerned. Our houses tend to be built to retain heat rather than to lose it, so I think that I will keep this recipe until normal weather is resumed
The beef joint would be excellent, I agree.
