1 large heavy based casserole dish with a tight fitting lid or a slow cooker
Ingredients
1kgbeef brisket joint(or similar stewing cut of beef)
1tbspsmoked paprika
salt and black pepper
2tbspolive oil
3large onions(quartered)
2sticks celery(chopped)
2large carrots(peeled and sliced)
1red pepper(deseed and sliced into cubes)
4-6clovesgarlic(sliced)
1bunch parsley(chopped)
1glass red wine
250mltomato passata
1tbspworchester sauce
1Knorr rich beef stock pot
1tspsalt
1tspsugar
Instructions
Cut the brisket into large chunks and roll the pieces in the smoked paprika, salt and pepper, taking care to cover all sides. Cutting the brisket up allows for better coverage of spice into the meat. Heat the oil in a heavy based casserole and brown the meat on all sides, remove from the pan and set aside.
Put all the vegetables into the casserole and saute gently for 5 minutes, allowing the onions to soften a little but not colour. Pour the red wine over the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan and allow some of the alcohol to burn off.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pan stir to combine. Return the beef to the pan, along with any beef juices. Cover with a lid and cook in a low oven 150C/140CFan for approximately 4 hours or until the beef pulls apart. If the dish looks like it is drying out, add a little water to loosen the gravy as required.
Notes
This recipe uses beef brisket however works equally well with other slow braise joints such as beef shoulder, shin or rib trim.Delicious when served with either sour cream and some crusty bread to soak up the juices, or creamy mashed potatoes and some green vegetables tossed in a little butter and black pepper. If you prefer a smoother gravy, remove the steak and blitz the gravy and stewed vegetables with a hand-blender to make a thick, smooth gravy.
