Finest Beef Madras

What is it?

Beef pieces are slow-cooked in a tomato and tamarind Madras sauce, with coriander and a fairly short ingredient list built around the sauce. Sold as a frozen meal for two, it comes ready to heat from frozen, usually in the microwave or oven, and the beef stays in chunks rather than breaking down into a mince or stew texture. Within Tesco’s frozen range, this sits in the Finest line, which tends to use a few more sauce and spice notes than the standard ready-meal versions. The Madras sauce is the main feature here, with the tomato bringing body and the tamarind adding a sharp edge.
