Golden Beef Recipe

STRANRAER BUTCHER Ian Jack has struck gold with one of his beef recipes.

Now he is hoping that it will take Britain by storm.

From the premises of Alex Jack (Butchers) Ltd. in Bridge Street, Ian produced his own distinctive Beef Wellington.

It was good enough to beat every other of the 200 butchers who entered a "Make it with Meat" event organised by Quality Meat Scotland and the Scottish Federation of Meat Traders.

Now he is putting it forward in the Smithfield Awards run by Q Guild Butchers organisation of which he is a member.

Similar success there could mean the recipe featuring in the BBC Good Food magazine.

Three out of his four entries in the Scottish contest won awards his shish kebabs and roulade of pork gained silvers.
