Scale
  • 900g beef braising steak, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 large onion, chopped into chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 140g bacon lardons
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp five-spice powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp light brown sugar

  • 500ml red wine
  • 400ml beef stock
  • 250g chestnut mushrooms, cut into halves

  • Parsley leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C / 150°C fan-forced.
  2. Season the flour with salt and use to coat the beef chunks. Fry the beef in a little oil over a high heat until browned all over (but not cooked through), remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Using a cast iron pot or casserole dish, fry bacon lardons until crispy, remove from pan and set aside with the beef.
  4. Using the bacon fat, fry onions until soft, followed by garlic, ginger, chilli flakes and 5 spice. Be careful not to burn the spices.
  5. Return beef and bacon lardons to the pot of onions and spices along with red wine, beef stock, black vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and rosemary. Bring to the boil then remove from the stovetop, place a lid on top and transfer to the oven to cook for 45 minutes.
  6. While beef is cooking, fry chestnut mushrooms and shallots in a little oil and salt until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  7. After the first 45 minutes, remove beef from the oven, gently stir through mushrooms and shallots and return to the oven for another 45 minutes.
  8. Divide stew between bowls and garnish with a little parsley. Serve with Wasabi Mash with Crispy Chilli Oil and Cashew Sesame Lime Coleslaw
