French Meat Recipes

Our collection of French meat ideas, from time-honoured classics to innovative twists on the traditional, are seriously scrumptious.

Simple midweek dinners include an easy weekday cassoulet, a simple coq au vin, and an unctuous pot roast carbonnade, but if you’re going all out to impress, try a confit shoulder of organic lamb with rosemary and garlic poached plum tomatoes, or a perfectly cooked beef fillet with pommes Anna, parsnip puree and sauce Forestiere. Lighter French meat dishes include the classic croque monsieur, or a tenderstem galette with lardons, mushrooms and brie, and for France on a plate, steak with Bearnaise sauce is hard to beat.

Our French meat recipes are an extravaganza of epicurean excellence!
