 Beef Burgundy

2 lb chuck steak cut into 2 inch squares
½ lb smoked bacon cut into small pieces
¾ lb shallots
1 large onion, sliced
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon plain flour
A bottle of red burgundy wine (minus a glass) 
¼ lb mushrooms
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

First, cut the meat into medium sized cubes and set aside. 
Slice the large onion and chop the garlic. 
Add the oil to the casserole dish and heat over a medium heat on a burner. 
Add the onions and fry for a few minutes. 
Now, add the meat and fry until brown all over. 
Add the flour and mix. 

Gradually pour in the wine, stirring all the time. 
Do Not Stop stirring until the wine is all in and there are no lumps. 
Add the garlic, herbs and season with salt and pepper. 
Cover the casserole with the lid and place in the oven. 
Cook for two hours.

When the two hours is up, add a little oil to a small frying pan and fry the bacon until it is going crispy. 
Add the shallots and carrots to the pan with the bacon and cook until brown. 
Slice the mushrooms and add the mushrooms, bacon, carrots and shallots to the casserole. 
Cook for another hour with the lid on.

Serving options
Serve with sautéed new potatoes, noodles or plain rice. 
I like to spice up the rice a little by frying some onion in butter in a sauce pan, then fry the rice in the pan and add the water last. 
Another option is to serve this with home made garlic croutons and a green salad. 
This is a better option in the summer

Pot Roast Beef

2 ½ lbs rolled brisket                                               

3 large onions

4 carrots

1 swede Beef dripping or lard

¼ lb mushrooms

½ pint beef stock

Dash of Worcestershire sauce

A bayleaf Thyme

1 table spoon flour

1 table spoon butter

Salt and fresh ground pepper

This takes a long time to cook, so the preparation must be done at least 4 hours before the meal is to be served.

Preheat the oven to a low heat   275F | 135ºC

First, prepare the vegetables.

Peel and slice the onions, peel and chop the carrots and peel and cut the swede into squares, wash and slice the mushrooms. 

Put the casserole over a burner, add the dripping or lard and melt.

When the fat has melted, add the meat and fry quickly, browning all over. 

Steak and Onions

1lb braising or stewing steak cut into four steaks

2 onions, sliced

6 oz Guinness (you can drink the rest)

1 teaspoon Worcester sauce

Oil

Seasoned flour (Flour with salt and pepper added)

Salt and pepper

First, pour a couple of tablespoons of oil into the casserole dish and heat on a medium heat.

Peel and slice the onions.

Roll the meat in the seasoned flour and fry in the dish for long enough to get a nice brown color.

Remove the meat and set aside.

Now, add the sliced onions and fry until they are also beginning to brown. 

Arrange the meat on top of the onions and add the Guinness and Worcester sauce,with a little salt and pepper.

Cover the casserole with a lid and cook in the oven for about 3 hours.

I like to serve this with either mashed,boiled or roast potatoes and a mixture of winter vegetables – just use whatever is in season at the time.

This goes well with just about anything including squash, broccoli and sweet potatoes.

I guarantee a juicy, tender piece of beef cooking it this way – it is almost impossible to get this wrong.

 Beef Wellington

For the pastry:

8 oz plain flour

5 oz margarine

cold water

For the stuffing:

2 lb beef fillet

¼ lb foie gras pate

1 lb cep mushrooms

1 medium onion

2 oz butter

Splash of brandy

1 egg

Salt and pepper

First, make the pastry and place in a plastic bag in the fridge until needed. 

Pre heat the oven to 375F |  190ºC

Now, take the fillet and trim any excess fat or gristle off. 

 

Keep the pieces, we will use them in the gravy. 

Put the skillet over a medium heat and add a little butter. 

While the skillet is heating, rub the fillet with a little brandy, then butter

then sprinkle with salt and pepper. 

 

Now place the meat in the skillet and fry the outside quickly until brown. 

Now, put the skillet in the oven and cook the meat for 30 minutes.

While the meat is cooking, chop the onion and mushrooms. 

 

Finely. Very finely. Really, really finely. 

Put a knob of butter in a saucepan and add the onion. 

Fry for about 5 minutes until it is going soft. 

 

Add the mushrooms and cook on a low heat for about 15 minutes. 

We do not want any moisture left, so if there is any after 15 minutes, pour into

a bowl and keep for the gravy. 

 

Put the mushrooms and onion in another bowl and mix with the pate. 

Put aside. 

When the meat is finished cooking, remove from the oven and place on a baking

rack to cool. 

When the meat is cool, take the pastry out of the fridge and lay out on a chopping

board sprinkled with flour. 

 

In the middle of the pastry, spread out half the mushroom mix. 

Place the fillet on top. 

Spread the rest of the mix over the beef. 

Now fold the pastry over and seal the edges with a little beaten egg. 

 

Brush the pastry with the rest of the egg and place on a baking tray. 

Put back in the oven and cook for another 30 minutes. 

Beef Wellington should be served rare, but the ends will be more well-done,

so there should be something for everyone. 

 

If your guests prefer well-done beef, the extra cooking should be done

the first time in the oven.

Beef Wellington is served  with roast potatoes, green beans, carrots and sprouts,

a red wine gravy and a heavy red wine. 

When the Wellington is ready, cut into thick slices at the table.

Boerewors (Sausage)

Ingredients:

3 lb beef.

3 lb pork.

1 lb bacon.

½ cup red wine vinegar.

1 clove garlic.

4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.

3 to 3 ½ oz sausage casing.

2 tbsp salt.

2 tbsp ground coriander.

1 tsp ground pepper.

½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg.

½ tsp ground dried thyme.

½ tsp ground all spice.

¼ tsp ground cloves.

Raw Boerewors, ready for the braai (BBQ)

Method:

Dice the bacon into pieces not larger than 1 inch.

Cut the beef and pork meat into 1 to 1 ½ inch cubes.

Mix it well with all the other ingredients except the sausage casing.

Grind the meat using a medium-coarse grinding plate.

Fill the sausage casings firmly, but not too tightly with the meat mixture.

Refrigerate for 24 hours before using.

Boerewors can be kept for a week fresh or for 3 months if frozen or could be dried with a fan in cool room,just rub 1 table spoon salt over casing when wet to prevent flies lying eggs in the sausage.

Then it could be used for dried wors (dried sausage).

Skillet Steaks with Lynchburg Pan Sauce

2 Porterhouse or T-bone steaks, about 1 ½ to 2 inches thickVegetable oil.

Salt and pepper.

2 tablespoons butter.

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.

¼ cup Jack Daniel's® Tennessee Whiskey.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 10 minutes.

Generously rub steaks with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook steaks one at a time.

Sear steak on one side, about 5 minutes.

Flip and cook an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare; 6 minutes for medium.

Remove the steak from the skillet and keep warm.

Repeat with the second steak and keep warm. 

Melt the butter in the skillet; stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Jack Daniel's®.

Bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes.

Slice steaks, if desired.

Pour sauce over steaks and serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.

Hamburgers 

1lb/500g ground sirloin.

1 half onion grated or finely chopped.

4 pinches ground coriander.

4 pinches paprika powder.

A dash of fresh ground black pepper.

A pinch of salt.

A tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

1 egg lightly beaten.

First, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and using your hands, shape into four balls.

Turn the heat to medium under the skillet and add a tiny amount of oil.

When the skillet is hot, add the burgers, pushing them flat with a spatula.

Cook for about 3 minutes each side for medium rare, longer for well done and less for rare.

Just before the burgers are ready, toast the inside of the buns under a broiler or over a grill or in a toaster.

If using a grill or broiler, spread a little butter on the buns first.

My personal preference for serving them is a little Mayo on the bottom of the bun, then the burger with 

a thin slice of raw onion, a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.

Topped off with a dap of ketchup and a good helping of English mustard on the top half of the bread.

But, the great thing about making home made hamburgers is, you can add what you want.

I like to serve them with home made French fries.

Healthy Burgers:

For a low fat, high fiber burger, replace the buns with a whole wheat bun, broil or grill the burger,

cut out the Mayo and butter and serve with a good amount of  

lettuce.
