15 Minute Sticky Beef Mince

  • 11 Oct 2025

Cornish Sticky Beef Mince

Inspired by a recipe I found online - this recipe has become a firm family favourite - it's easy and quick to make, and can be used with any green veg. Enjoyed by everyone in the house - I know this one is a firm favourite.

Ingredients:

  1. Sunflower Oil
  2. 500g Beef Mince
  3. Garlic
  4. Ginger
  5. Green Beans - although I have used peas, broccoli, or any spare greens I have. I have also put in carrots etc

For the sauce:

  1. Cornflour
  2. Dark Soy Sauce
  3. Oyster Sauce
  4. Runny Honey
  5. Water

Plus some sesame seeds to garnish - and totally optional!

To make:

  • Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan over a medium high heat and add the mince. Brown all over cooking for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, ginger and green beans and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  • While this is cooking, make up the sauce by putting the cornflour in a jug or bowl and gradually mixing in the soy sauce (do this gradually so it doesn't go lumpy).
  • Then add in the other ingredients and stir until smooth.
  • Turn the heat up to high, pour in sauce and let it bubble for 2-3 minutes and coat everything.
  • Serve over rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

This is a very simple recipe that can be adapted to add your own choice of veg.

Organic Beef Bone Broth

  • 25 Sept 2025

Recipe: Organic Cornish Beef Bone Broth 

Rich & Nourishing Organic Beef Bone Broth Recipe


Discover the secret to creating a nutrient-packed, flavorful beef bone broth using organic bones from Tresemple Farm, near Truro.

This slow-cooked recipe is perfect for soups, stews, and a wholesome boost to your favourite meals.

 
Why Bone Broth is SO Good for You!


Beef bone broth isn’t just comforting — it’s packed with nutrients. Slow-simmered bones release collagen, gelatin, and amino acids, supporting gut health, joints, skin, and immunity. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus are also extracted, giving you a rich, nutrient-dense stock in every spoonful. Using organic beef bones from Tresemple Farm ensures your broth is made from high-quality, sustainably raised, organic meat.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2–3 lbs (1–1.5 kg) organic beef bones (marrow or joint bones are ideal)
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps extract minerals)
  • Optional: fresh herbs (thyme, parsley)

4–5 litres cold water
 
Instructions:

  1. Roast the Bones (Optional but highly recommended)
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
    Spread bones on a roasting tray and roast for 30–40 minutes until browned. This deepens the flavour of your broth.
  3. Combine ingredients in a stockpot or slow cooker. Add the roasted bones, vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and apple cider vinegar.
    Pour in cold water until bones are fully submerged.
  4. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
    Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
    Simmer for 12–24 hours (longer for richer, more gelatinous broth).
    If using a slow cooker, set to low for 12–24 hours.
  5. Remove bones and vegetables using a slotted spoon.
    Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container.

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
The fat will rise to the top as it cools — you can skim it off or leave it for extra richness.
 
Serving Suggestions:
Sip warm on its own as a nourishing drink.
Use as a base for soups, stews, risottos, or gravies.
Add fresh herbs, noodles, or vegetables for a hearty, wholesome meal.
