Also don’t overlook sous vide. I’ve made some heavenly meals with cheap cuts of beef (e.g. shank) recently. Chuck it in a vacuum bag and wait - that’s it! Pull it out and give it a nice sear.

I usually do 2 bags and chuck one in the freezer for reheating at a later date.

If you don’t eat meat, no worries! Loads of veggies are great too, especially roots.
