Is beef a good substitute for lamb in recipes?We Answered:
Hey there, yes beef is a good substitute in tagines.I quite often use it instead of lamb because we also have the same problem with the price of lamb.
Even the so called cheaper stewing cuts are priced through the roof. You may just have to adjust cooking times ever so slightly depending on your cut of beef but just try the meat throughout cooking until the required tenderness is acheived.
