Indulge in a rich and savory slow-cooked beef and mushroom casserole for the ultimate comfort meal.
Ingredients:
  • 60.00 ml plain flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1.5kg topside beef, cubed
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 18.20 gm olive oil, for frying
  • 6 shallots, finely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml fresh thyme, chopped
  • 20.00 ml brandy
  • 255.00 gm beef stock
  • 40.00 gm butter
  • 400g mixed mushrooms, halved
  • 200g Crème Fraîche
  • Bulla Crème Fraiche, to serve
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 150C.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a plastic bag, then toss in the beef and shake until well coated.
  • In a large pan over high heat, heat olive oil and sear beef until nicely browned. It may be necessary to brown the beef in 3 separate batches. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the oil, shallots, garlic, and thyme in the pan for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the beef back to the pan and mix in the rest of the oil and brandy. Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the casserole and transfer it to the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Warm up a generous amount of butter in a shallow pan until it glistens. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until they become tender and golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add a touch of freshly ground black pepper and fold in the crème fraîche until the mixture is luxuriously creamy and silky.
  • After baking the beef, gently fold in the mushrooms and let simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Serve piping hot topped with a dollop of creamy crème fraîche.
