Champion beef dish served with creamy mashed potatoes and crispy green beans.
Ingredients:
  • 1.2kg-piece beef bolar blade
  • 2 large brown onions, halved, cut into thin wedges
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) red wine
  • 250ml (1 cup) beef stock
  • 1 x 30g can green peppercorns, drained
  • 4 large fresh thyme sprigs
  • 3 fresh or dried bay leaves
  • Mashed potato, to serve
  • Steamed green beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a stockpot over medium-high heat, heat half of the oil. Brown the beef by cooking it for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Then, transfer the beef to a plate.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, sizzle the remaining oil. Saute the onion, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it turns soft.
  • Combine the beef, red wine, stock, peppercorns, thyme, and bay leaves in a pan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours until the beef is tender.
  • Place the beef on a plate and cover it to keep it warm. Increase the heat to high and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes until it reduces by half.
  • Slice the beef thickly against the grain. Serve the mash on serving plates, topped with the beef and sauce. Accompany with beans.
