Ingredients
6 Cheese Scones
1kg Beef Steak (Diced)
2 Large Onions (Diced)
2 Large Carrots (Diced)
2 Garlic Cloves (Crushed)
40g Rosemary
20g Tomato Puree
1 tsp Plain Flour
1 tsp Corn Flour
1L Beef Stock
50ml Balsamic Vinegar
80ml Vegetable Oil
70g Parsley (Chopped)
30g Soft Brown Sugar
400ml Red Wine
Seasoning:
50g Spicy Paprika
50g Salt & Pepper
20g Caster Sugar
30g Cumin
Method
1. Mix all the seasoning ingredients together in a bowl, then sprinkle over the beef to lightly coat.
2. Heat a little of the vegetable oil in a large pan and fry the seasoned beef until it is nicely browned and then pour into a lidded casserole dish.
3. Add another drizzle of oil to the pan, add the onions, carrots, garlic and rosemary, then fry over a medium heat, until the onions are golden brown. Pour these over the beef in the casserole dish.
4. Place the frying pan back onto the heat and add the wine, stirring with a spoon so that all the bits from the beef and vegetable get picked up. Add the tomato puree and continue to simmer until the wine has reduced by half.
5. Add the beef stock, rosemary, brown sugar and balsamic and bring back to the boil.
6. Pour this mix over the beef and vegetables and cook with the lid on at 160°C for 2-3 hours until the beef is extremely tender and breaks apart when pressed with a fork.
7. Remove the lid and sprinkle over the chopped parsley. Carefully place the cheese scones on top and sprinkle cheddar over the scones. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the scones are warm.
8. Serve with extra cheese and some freshly steamed salted greens.
