Rice cooker Organic Beef Dark Ale Casserole

beefcasseroleLet me share with you Groover’s delicious recipe for beef casserole that he made up himself taking inspiration from several recipes.

It is perfect for a wet wintry day and very rich.

The idea is to get it started in the morning and then go away and leave it. Come back for an evening meal and in the meantime enjoy the beautiful aromas of comfort food.

Rice cooker organic beef and dark ale casserole.

Ingredients:
1 kg of oyster blade beef (or any cheap cut of organic beef)
100g pancetta cut into cm cubes
250 mL of beef stock
1 bottle (330mL) dark ale or stout (eg Guinness)
1 can of crushed tomatoes
500g small brown onions
one bunch of baby carrots
300g mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
handful fresh rosemary, finely chopped
50g plain flour
2 anchovies (the secret ingredient)
2 tablespoons of Worcester Sauce
1 teaspoon Marmite (the other secret ingredient)
handful of flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped
zest of one lemon
Most people continue to masturbate viagra no prescription in adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.

1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Put olive oil in pan and fry off the pancetta. Remove pancetta and place in bottom of rice (or slow) cooker. Mix the flour salt and pepper and chopped rosemary and cut the beef into three or four centimetre chunks and coat liberally in the seasoned flour.

Brown the beef in the pan to seal and caramelise the beef quickly – you don’t want to cook it through – feel free to do this in batches. Place beef on top of the pancetta in the rice cooker.

Finally, peel the onions and garlic and quickly pan fry in the remaining oil and throw on top of beef.

The onions are meant to be whole and not cooked, just lightly glazed with the oil. Deglaze the pan with the sherry and pour juice over the ingredients in the rice cooker.

Add the stout and stock, chopped mushrooms, anchovies, tomatoes, marmite and Worcester Sauce and close the rice cooker. Put the cooker on cook and then let it simmer on “warm” for the next 6-7 hours (the rest of the day).

The house will fill with delicious comfort foody smells.

About two hours before serving throw in the washed baby carrots.

Just prior to serving add the chopped parsley and zest of a lemon.

Serve with mashed potato and green salad.

Yummy.

SatayIn the tradition of The Food Pornographer may I introduce you to the worst kept secret in the Western Suburbs – Mr Weezee’s Satay.

I’d heard others talk about this phenomenon of a shop and its quirky idiosyncracies and was intrigued. The co-manager of our cricket team told me where it was – in the middle of Chelsea Village – and taking a short detour home I dropped in this afternoon.

You can buy them in 12 packs or 25 packs – frozen. You can buy satay sauce separately. I bought 25 chicken sticks for $17.50 and a satay sauce (small plastic container) for $2.50. That fed my family of four… just. So this is not the cheapest meal on the block, but oh…

So yummy! The sticks are just the right size to barbeque. The sauce peanutty and as delicious with salads. A winner.

The best lamb chop I’ve ever eaten

7 Comments

One of the nice things about working where I do is sometimes when foodies come in, they bring food.  Today I was in early for a cross with our breakfast presenter and the foodie – the lovely Marg Johnston – brought in freshly cooked lamb chops coated in breadcrumbs with garlic, lemon and parmesan cheese.

They were heavenly… yes, even at 6.30am.

Tomorrow I’m going to try and make her lamb tagine.

I’ve even bought some bathroom scales…

Chicken Soup and Lemongrass

Chicken SoupI’ve come home early today. I think I’m coming down with Hugamuga’s Flu. He was hit hard Wednesday night and has a cough that lifts the rafters.
