I can barely breathe.
Just finished washing up after dinner and all I can say is there will be a repeat performance of this masterpiece.
I have never cooked with this cut of beef before but when I saw it at my local supermarket, I couldn't resist picking it up. I decided to make a curry with it and ended up having 2 platefuls of food for dinner.....I know right, so bad! The beef was ooo so tender and moist and I absolutely loved it. Anyways, I've packed up the rest and it's sitting in the fridge. Thankfully I barely resisted picking at the chunks of tender beef just sitting there, drowning in the curry. Key word - barely because I am certain I heard them calling out to my mouth for help!
You will Need:
Leave to boil, occasionally checking the contents of your pot and topping up the water.
Whilst this was cooking I was busy baking a cake. The contents of my fridge tend to dictate what I do these days and since I had some things that needed eating I decided to 'throw' them together and make a cake.
Take care lovelies xx

You will Need:
500g of meat of choice. I am using Ox cheek.
1 medium onion
1 table spoon of tumeric powder
1 tablespoon of mild curry powder
2 stock cubes
1 tablespoon of mixed herbs
3 cloves of fresh garlic or 1 tablespoon of pure garlic pure
2 potatoes
3 carrot sticks
Pinch of salt to taste.
Pinch of salt to taste.
Water
24 hours*hehehe

| My meat in the pack |
 |
| Cut your meat into bite-sized chunks and place in a bowl. My meat came fresh from the supermarket's sterile counter and it wasn't sitting in any moisture so I did not wash. Also, I am going to marinate for 24hrs and washing would introduce moisture which means my meat will be a breeding ground for bacteria after 24hrs. I also use the red board which is clearly marked to cut meat. A different board for fish and a different one for vegetables. Tell me what you think. |
 | |
| Chop your onions and add. The green board is strictly for vegetables. |
 |
| Add all your spices and seasonings as listed above |
 |
| Mix thoroughly with a spoon. |
At this stage, cover your bowl with cling film and leave to marinate overnight
 |
| After a good night's rest and a hard day's work, 'dump' your meat into a pot. Lol |
 |
| Fill the pot with water till it is just above the meat |
 |
| When your meat is almost ready top up with water and add salt to taste |
 |
| Slice your carrots and potatoes |
 |
| Add these to your pot. Make sure you place them on top and do not mix through. Cook for 30 mins |
 |
| .....and there you have it. Me and my dinner, sitting cheek to cheek |
