Indulgent port and orange braised beef casserole, ideal for chilly nights.
Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 800g beef chuck steak, trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, halved, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 250.00 ml port
  • 382.50 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 3 large sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • 2 strips orange rind, pith removed
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • Mashed potato, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large, heavy-based flameproof casserole dish, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat until sizzling. Season the beef and brown it in batches for about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to a bowl.
  • Pour the rest of the oil into the dish along with the onion. Sauté while stirring for 5 minutes until the onion is soft. Introduce the garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Pour in the port and let it simmer while stirring for 3 minutes.
  • Place the beef back in the dish then pour in the stock and add the rosemary, bay leaves, and orange rind. Lower the heat and simmer partly covered for 2 hours until the beef is tender and the liquid has reduced.
  • Remove the fragrant rosemary and bay leaves from the dish and discard. Season with a perfect balance of salt and pepper, then gently stir in fresh parsley. Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes.
