INTRODUCTION Welcome to BEEFing up your profits – Volume 3. This volume has been developed with the assistance of home economist Lyn Harwood and showcases 50 innovative, delicious value-added beef ideas coupled with easy recipes that will give you that unfair advantage when it comes to meat retailing in a challenging environment. Each recipe has been developed with you in mind. We understand that you don’t have time to create complicated value-added beef meals. They are designed to look appealing, appetising and above all convenient for your clientele. Among the many meal options are succulent steaks, delicious roasts and soul-warming casseroles and stews that allow customers to enjoy flavoursome meals that are easy to prepare. Continuing on the ‘Meal occasion’ theme from earlier volumes, this volume will provide you with fresh ideas for many different special occasion and event days. Use these recipes as a springboard for your imagination to go wild with ideas for value-added beef meals. Not only will it prevent your display cabinet from looking stale, it will certainly bring new customers through the doors. Your gross profit will also benefit from utilising value-added beef recipes. It makes sense to be able to utilise the secondary beef cuts that don’t typically sell as readily as other primals. Use cuts such as the rump, knuckle, blade and topside in innovative meal solutions and increase your GP return. We hope you enjoy reading this volume and I hope you rally behind these products and see some real benefits to your bottom line. All the products are easy to implement in your store and there are so many new ideas in this volume of BEEFing up your profits – Volume 3. Make sure you take a look at our website for retailers – www.acutabove.net.au – for more ideas and tips to increase the success of your retail operation. Regards,

Lachlan Bowtell Marketing Manager – Trade Meat & Livestock Australia

Marketing When it comes to marketing your beef lines to customers, value-adding can help you win business over local competition. Value-adding can help improve profitability by utilising secondary beef cuts in many different meal ideas.

Value-adding beef meals offers your customers convenience. Your customers will soon begin to know they can rely on you for an easy, delicious and above all nutritious meal for their family. It will become second nature for them to drop into your store on the way home from work or a busy afternoon ferrying around the kids, and pick up an Italian family roast (see page 26) or Beef Rogan Josh (see

quickly cook and serve.

n Birthdays – fast finger food for get-togethers with family and friends. n Melbourne Cup Day – tasty tapas plates to tantalise the tastebuds. Work out a roster of meals so that you are rotating meals every day. Use vegetables that are in season when creating meal ideas – fresher, cheaper and tastier. Graham Gibbs of Meats a Treat in NSW advises our biggest selling time is 4-6pm daily, when customers come in looking for an easy, delicious meal to take home to their family. I keep them happy by continually changing the product range of beef meal solutions. We suggest a few steamed vegetables to compliment their meals, as well as always advising the cooking time. Look to what vegetables are in season as to what will be attractive to your customers. Hearty casseroles and stews are always popular in colder weather while marinated, succulent steaks with a fresh garden salad are obvious summer foods. Regularly check your display with a critical eye to assess any potential opportunities. Stroll around the local shopping precinct to get new ideas for dishes. Rod Leaver of Mighty Nice Meats in Cairns, Queensland says I believe that my counter display attracts customers. I put a lot of effort into presenting meat in a high quality, restaurant-style format. With competition in the form of major supermarkets in my shopping centre, I make sure I value-add my beef as it gives me a real competitive advantage – the supermarkets just don’t offer what I can.

The meal ideas in the following chapters are designed to be eaten within 48 hours of being made. Take the opportunity to have promotional chilly bags made up that fit your standard meal and sell them cheaply or giveaway to loyal customers. Have your shop name and phone number printed on the outside of the bag – great advertising when people are out and about as well!

Having new value-added items in the cabinet seem to encourage trial of new things across the board. Also keeping the cabinet new, fresh and constantly evolving inspires customers to try new things and purchase more. Brenton Walsh Newburn Gourmet Meats WA

Tip: Prepare stir-fry strips from primals that eat well with only brief cooking – for example, the knuckle or rump. Prepare cubes from muscles such as the chuck roll or blade. These muscles will perform well in wet cooking but still retain their shape. This way you’ll eliminate eating inconsistency in eating tenderness and bring contented customers back for another purchase.

BEEFing up your profits – Volume 3

Our typical customer is time-poor, working 2 jobs with a family and doesn’t have time to prepare a delicious home-cooked meal every night. That’s where we step into the breach. Our customers know they can come into our store and pick up a hearty stroganoff or curry in winter or beef kebabs in summer, take it home and serve it up.

BEEFing up your profits – Volume 3

We find it’s mostly younger families who buy value-added beef meals because it is something different, adds variety, has more flavour and makes it easier – all done for them. We have not had one complaint about any of our value-add items which is great. If every product was the same (with no complaints) I would be laughing. adam gee Norfolk Butchers, Victoria
