Ingredients
for the meat sauce
- 1 kg beef shin sliced
- 1 red onion finely chopped, large
- 2 carrot peeled and finely chopped
- 2 celery finely chopped, stalks
- 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 turnips finely chopped
- 4 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
- 1 whole tomatoes 400g can
- ½ cup red wine optional
- 1-2 cups beef stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 thyme sprigs, fresh
- ½ cup tomato sauce ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
to serve
- bread rolls toasted
- cheddar cheese mature, grated
- jalapeños pickled
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 150°c.
- In an oven-proof casserole pot, heat a generous splash of oil and brown the beef on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook over medium-low heat until the vegetables have started to soften and are fragrant.
- Add the remaining vegetables and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, red wine and 1 cup of the beef stock along with the herbs. Add the beef back into the pot and allow to come back up to a rapid simmer. Add more stock if necessary (the beef needs to be covered) and cover. Place the pot in the oven and allow to cook for 4-5 hours until the beef is meltingly tender. You might need to add more stock every now and then if the pot cooks dry.
- When the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and place the pot with the vegetables back on the stove. Allow to simmer gently and with the back of a wooden spoon, squish the vegetables against the side of the pot. This will thicken the sauce.
- Shred the beef and discard any excess fat and the bones and place back in the pot.
- Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Balsamic and season to taste.
- To serve, fill the rolls with the meat sauce and top with the cheese and pickled jalapeños.
Notes
- Any left-over meat sauce can easily be frozen and used at another time. It is very similar to pulled pork and can thus be used in a magnitude of ways.
