Ingredients
- 4 pound Beef joint 1.5 kg
- salt a few turns of the mill, to season
- black pepper a few turns of the mill, to season
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tbsp butter
- 4 shallot diced, large
- 1 tsp sugar
- pinch ground cinnamon
- 14 oz plum tomato 400g
- ¾ cup red wine 180 ml
- 4 carrot peeled and sliced
- 2 celery ribs
- 3 garlic unpeeled, cloves
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 beef stock cube , crumbled
- 1/4 cup water 60 ml
- 2 tsp corn starch to thicken sauce if needed, diluted in cold water or 1 tsp xanthan gum
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley fresh, to garnish
- Parmesan Cheese to serve, plenty, grated
Instructions
- Season the beef joint liberally with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the beef on all sides until nicely browned. Set aside.
- Add a knob of butter to the pan and sweat the shallots over low heat – covering the pan will help caramelize the shallots.
- Season with a pinch of sugar and cinnamon and stir in the plum tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Pour the wine into the pan and bring to a rolling simmer. Transfer the contents of the pan to your slow cooker.
- Add the sliced carrots, celery sticks, unpeeled garlic cloves, and crumbled beef stock cube. Stir to combine.
- Top with the beef joint and add a little water. Cover and cook on the low setting for 8-10 hours or overnight. You want to cook until the beef is fully tender and easily pierced with a knife.
- Transfer the beef to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Discard the bay leaves, garlic and celery sticks and bring the sauce to a rolling simmer. Stir in a little cornflour slurry (or xanthan gum) if it needs thickening. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Slice the beef and add back into the sauce to warm through. Serve over noodles, mashed potatoes or polenta. Add grated parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.
