Product description
A classic casserole to showcase the flavour of this beautifully marbled beef, cut from the prime rib.
2 x 440g packs Beef Rib Trim
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 sticks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tbsp flour, seasoned
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ltr beef stock (or 500ml beef stock & 500ml red wine)
- Preheat oven to 140°C/Fan 120°C/Gas 1.
- Heat oil in a flameproof casserole dish, brown the meat on all sides, remove and reserve.
- Use the same pan to sauté the vegetables and garlic until soft
- Return the meat to the pan, stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with a little stock, stirring up any tasty bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Slowly pour in the rest of the stock, then add herbs and season with the salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat till barely simmering, cover pan and cook in a low oven for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, gently simmer on the hob without boiling.
- Taste a small piece of the meat to check for tenderness. If the sauce is too thin, remove the meat with a slotted spoon, set aside and reduce the sauce to thicken.
- If you prefer less fat, make this a day ahead, refrigerate overnight and lift the fat off.
- For something different serve your casserole on top of a Large Potato Rösti.
