Slow cooked Malaysian Inspired Beef

A cheap cut of meat made tender & unique.

This recipe was inspired by my recent obsession for Vietnamese and Malaysian dishes. I got the meat cut for $10 and it served 6 people. Definitely was a winter winner. I served with roast potatoes, green beans and broccoli.

Pot roast or similar cut
Garlic cloves
1 onion sliced
2 star anise
H20
Sauce
4 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp sugar (I used coconut)
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp red curry paste
2 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp cracked pepper
1 pinch chilli flakes
Few drops liquid smoke (optional)

Take the meat out of the fridge and warm to room temp. Pat meat dry. Season with salt.
Sear sides of roast in a well oiled, hot fry pan - to seal in the moisture. This only needs to be long enough to create a golden crust.
Place meat in slow cooker. Place sliced onion, crushed garlic and star anise in with the meat. Add 1/2 cup of water to slow cooker.
Pour mixed sauce over the top of meat.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Near the end of the cook time, use a ladle or spoon to collect the liquid from the bottom and pour over the meat. Do this twice.

To serve
Drain the sauce from the roast. If there is a large amount of water put in a pot and simmer down.
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes.
Slice and put in a dish. Pour the hot sauce over the meat and serve.

No-cut Pumpkin Soup

I hate cutting pumpkins. This recipe eliminates that step completely ! The taste of this soup can change depending on which flavourings you choose. You can remove the curry paste and nutmeg and swap with -sauteed onions, garlic and cumin seeds -curry powder & vege or chicken stock -sweet chilli sauce A pumpkin (any kind!) Salt & Pepper 2 Tbsp sweetener (coconut sugar, brown sugar, date syrup) 1 tsp Nutmeg 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 2 tbsp Red curry paste Ceres Coconut cream Wash or wipe the pumpkin. Place the entire pumpkin into the oven whole at 180-200 degrees C. Bake until a knife slides easily into the pumpkin. Usually about 30-60 minutes depending on size. Once soft, remove the skin by gently peeling or slicing back. This step depends on the pumpkin type. Open the pumpkin and scoop out seeds. Place the pumpkin flesh inside a crock pot or stove top pot. Cover flesh with water (or stock if using) and add in flavourings. Bring to boil and let simmer for 30 mins. Or i...

Broccoli Salad - 3 ways

Broccoli is a powerhouse vegetable. There is a reason body-builders eat it. High in iron, potassium and magnesium it also contains antioxidants such as Vitamin C. This helps with overall skin health and appearance. It is rich in Vitamin K which helps with Calcium absorption and bone health. Studies have shown that while boiling or lightly steaming can reduce the amount of Vitamin C, it makes other properties more readily available or absorbed. It is easier digested cooked rather than raw. Salad 1 1 head of steamed broccoli 1/4 cup dried cranberries - beware some brands have added sugar and oil!  GoodFor is a great option. 1/2 cup almonds chopped 3 Tbsp tahini - I like this brand 2 Tbsp water 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar Chop broccoli into small pieces.
