Recipes - Meat

Paprika beef

Ingredients:

700g stewing steak

30g seasoned flour

2 large onions, chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

30g cooking fat

500g tomatoes

400ml beef stock

11/2tsp paprika

11/2tbsp tomato puree

2 bay leaves

11/2tsp mixed herbs

salt and pepper

Method:

1Cut the meat into cubes and coat in seasoned flour.

2In the Cooking Pot, fry the onions and garlic until softened, then add the meat and continue to fry until the meat is seared.

3Skin and chop the tomatoes finely. Add to the Cooking Pot.

4Blend the stock with the paprika, tomato puree, bay leaves and mixed herbs. Add to the Cooking Pot and season to taste.

5Transfer the Cooking Pot into the Base Unit.

6Cover with the Glass Lid and cook for approximately 5-8 hours on the Medium setting.

7Before serving, remove the bay leaves and thicken the sauce if necessary.

New England beef

Ingredients:

1kg topside beef

1 bouquet garni

1tsp thyme

1tsp black peppercorns

4 shallots

225g carrots, sliced

100g swede, diced

Method:

1Put the beef into the Cooking Pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover the beef with cold water (1.2L should be sufficient to submerge the joint.) Place the lid on and bring to a simmer on the hob.

2Season well and then transfer the Cooking Pot into the Base Unit, cover with the Glass Lid.

3Cook for approximately 5-7 hours on the Medium setting.

4Take the beef out of the Cooking Pot with a slotted spoon and allow to cool for 10 minutes. The cooking liquid can be used as a base to make gravy.

5Cut the beef into slices and spoon a little of the cooking liquid over. Serve with vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley.

IMPORTANT: When buying a joint of meat, ensure it will fit into the Cooking Pot, so when it is covered with liquid it will be 2.5cm below the rim. The joint must not stick out above the rim and there should be enough room to cover the meat with water. The shape of the meat is just as important as the weight.
