Braised Shetland beef in Darley Abbey Cider

We use, braising steak from Tim’s Shetland cattle,
but any good braising steak with a nice amount
of marbling of fat will cook well. Localness and
supporting our friends in other small business is part
of Terroir Bistro’s ethos so we use Simon Worsey’s
lovely Darley Abbey Cider for this dish. Any good
cider would be OK.

Alex Fletcher

Head Chef Terroir Bistro

Serves 4

Ingredients
1kg of good ideally grass fed braising steak

4 bay leaves
A few sprigs of fresh or 2 tsp of dried tyme
salt and pepper

Method
Chop shallots and plce in a large oven proof dish

over the streaks

ENJOY THE FRENCH RIDE!

AVORIAZ is honoured of its snowboarding antiquity. Being one
of France’s first resorts to devote specific zones to the sport it
continues to interest boarders from all over Europe. All zones are
accessible for beginners and are also challenging enough for more
experienced shredders.

LA GRAVE is for the more experienced, but once you’ve got the
ability, it is worth the ride. The landscape includes 2164 metres
of white powder which creates your decent. Since only a select
few have what it takes, there is no concern for a large amount of
people on the slopes.

TIGNES is another of France’s pioneer snowboard resorts. It

hosts Europe’s only version of the X-Games and keenly invites
boarders to take to its challenge. Tignes’ snow park is one of the
largest in the world. It measures 2.5 kilometres in length and
covers approximately 500 metres of vertical drop.

SERRE CHEVALIER might be one of the best wagers in France.
Its landscape includes large numbers of drop-offs, banks and
channels, and flat terrain to straight-line it for a dose of haste and
adrenaline.

LES ARCS could be one of France’s best snowboard resorts.
Since it sprawls over 2750 hectares of skiable land, the park offers
almost all types of environment imaginable.

This makes it a great place for all levels, where novices can learn
and hard-core shredders can push themselves to the maximum.
Here is where Austria’s Darren Powel set the snowboard speed
record of 196.937 kilometres per hour.

CHAMONIX is well-known and respected by even the most
experienced riders. The Combe de la Pendant offers 1000 metres
of ungroomed descent and the Vallée Blanche gives you a
whopping 20 kilometres.

Chamonix also hosts the Freeride World Tour annually. While
the resort does have some green and blue tracks, it’s not really a
beginner’s best bet. Improve your skills and then come to ride this
French legend.
