Braised Beef..Debs version
The original recipe is here I have changed it for a slower cooker and added some stuff so as per normal quantities and times are guess work
What you will need:
- 1 kilogram well marbled boneless beef a stewing steak or similar
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 8 onions, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced lengthwise (6 cups)
- 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
- splash of port
- 1 cup of beef stock
- Salt and pepper
How to:
Pat meat dry. Stir together allspice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and rub all over meat.
Spread half of onions and half of garlic in a 13- by 9-inch with knob of butter on the base of slow cooker and arrange meat on top. Spread remaining onions and garlic over meat. Add a splash of port and beef stock. Tightly cover pan with foil and turning meat over after 1 hour, cook until meat is very tender, on which ever setting you would like.
Skim fat from pan juices.
The trick with this recipe is to ensure very little moisture escapes from the cooker otherwise it may be a little dry..its a fairly dry dish anyway but you could create a gravy to go with it?
I served with mashed potato and carrots..yum!
