My Meat Man

This is the stock that makes your beef dishes taste like they came from a serious kitchen.

Beef stock is the richest, most intense of all stocks — the foundation of the great French sauces, the base of a proper gravy and the secret behind a pan sauce that makes people ask what you did differently. A stock cube can approximate the colour and a shadow of the flavour, but it cannot replicate the body, the depth and the genuine beef character that comes from a properly made stock.

Maggie Beer’s Natural Beef Stock is made from real beef, with no artificial flavours and no MSG. The result is a stock with genuine depth — the kind that makes your red wine sauce glossy and complex, your gravy rich and satisfying and your braise something worth slow-cooking for.

At 500ml, this is sized for sauces and gravies — the applications where beef stock does its best work. A little goes a long way when the quality is this good.

Beef stock vs chicken stock — when to use which

• Beef stock — richer, deeper, more intense. Use for beef dishes, red wine sauces, gravies and dark braises
• Chicken stock — lighter, more versatile. Use for soups, risottos, white sauces and poultry dishes

The rule of thumb: match the stock to the protein. Beef stock with beef, chicken stock with chicken. For vegetables and neutral dishes, chicken stock is the more versatile choice.

How to Use

Pan Sauces (Where Beef Stock Shines)

• After searing a steak, deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine, then add beef stock
• Reduce by half over high heat, scraping up the fond — the result is an instant, restaurant-quality pan sauce
• Finish with a knob of cold butter for gloss and richness

Gravies

• Use as the base for a proper roast beef gravy — add the roasting pan juices and reduce
• Whisk in a little flour or cornstarch for a thicker consistency
• Season well and finish with a splash of Worcestershire sauce for depth

Braises

• Use as the braising liquid for beef short ribs, oxtail or brisket
• Combine with red wine, aromatics and herbs for a classic beef braise
• The stock becomes the sauce — reduce the braising liquid after cooking for a rich, glossy finish

Soups and Stews

• Use as the base for a French onion soup — the classic application for beef stock
• Use in a hearty beef and vegetable stew
• Use as the liquid for a beef pho or Asian-style beef noodle soup

Pro Tips

• Always deglaze with the stock in the same pan you cooked the meat in — the fond is where the flavour lives
• Reduce the stock before using in a sauce for a more concentrated, intense flavour
• A splash of beef stock added to a bolognese or ragu adds depth that wine alone cannot provide
• Use in place of water when cooking lentils or legumes for a richer, more savoury result
• Freeze leftover stock in ice cube trays for convenient small portions
• Do not boil vigorously — a gentle simmer preserves the clarity and the flavour

Serving Suggestions

• pan sauce for a grass-fed sirloin with red wine and butter
• rich gravy for a Sunday roast beef with Yorkshire pudding
• braised beef short ribs with red wine, thyme and roasted garlic
• French onion soup with a gruyère crouton
• beef pho with rice noodles, fresh herbs and hoisin
• bolognese or ragu with a splash of stock for depth
• oxtail stew with root vegetables and crusty bread

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Maggie Beer?
Maggie Beer is one of Australia’s most respected and beloved food producers and personalities. Based in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, she has spent decades championing quality Australian ingredients and honest, flavourful cooking.

Is it ready to use or does it need diluting?
Ready to use — no dilution required. Use straight from the carton.

Why 500ml and not 1 litre?
Beef stock is richer and more intense than chicken stock — 500ml is the ideal format for sauces, gravies and pan sauces where you use smaller quantities. For soups and risottos where larger volumes are needed, see the Maggie Beer Natural Chicken Stock 1 Litre.

Can I freeze it?
Yes — freeze leftover stock in ice cube trays for convenient small portions. Defrost as needed.

Why is it better than a stock cube?
A stock cube approximates beef flavour using salt, MSG and flavour enhancers. Maggie Beer Natural Beef Stock is made from real beef with no artificial additives — the body, the depth and the genuine beef flavour cannot be replicated by a cube.
