  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 700g jar gluten-free tomato passata
  • 82.50 ml red wine vinegar
  • 400.00 gm white long-grain rice
  • 400g can black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 42.00 gm lime juice, plus wedges to serve

  • 125.00 ml fresh oregano leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves, halved
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 40.00 ml red wine vinegar
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 5 minutes or until browned, then transfer to a slow cooker. Add brown onion, capsicum, garlic, oregano, bay leaves, sugar, chilli, allspice, passata, and vinegar on top of the beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, making sure to turn the beef in the sauce halfway through.
  • Prepare your Chimichurri by finely chopping herbs and garlic in a small food processor. Pour in oil and vinegar, then process until well combined. Set aside for later use.
  • Prepare the rice according to package instructions, adding beans during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain the rice and beans, then transfer them to a bowl. Add coriander and green onion, season to taste. Shred the beef with 2 forks, mix in lime juice. Serve the beef alongside the rice, chimichurri, and lime wedges.
