Slow Cooked Beef
Kathy TsaplesIngredients:
- 1 1⁄2 kg round steak, cleaned and cut into cubes
- 3 cans of roma tomatoes, crushed by hand
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 1⁄2 cup of olive oil, plus an additional 2 tbsp
- 1tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1L water or chicken stock (optional)
- 1tbsp tomato paste
- 1tsp sweet paprika
- A pinch of cinnamon
- A few basil leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1tsp sugar
- 1tsp cooking salt
- 1tsp pepper
Method:
- In a heavy-based wide casserole dish, brown your meat a little at a time so that it doesn’t stew.
- Once all the meat has browned, add the onion and the garlic cloves. Stir a few times.
- Add the tomato paste and sweet paprika, and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the canned tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon and bay leaf as well as the half cup of olive oil.
- Add 1 litre of water or chicken stock if you like, close the lid, and simmer gently for about 1 hour. Check every so often and stir.
- The liquid will evaporate, leaving a lusciously thick tomato sauce. The meat should be soft and melt in your mouth. If the meat needs more cooking, just add a little more water and continue to simmer. In the final 15 minutes, add the 2 tablespoons of oil, basil leaves and red wine vinegar.
