Casserole.

Chuck it in a slow cooker before going to work with some carrots, potatoes, onion, herbs, a pint or so of stock and a splash of red wine. Cook for about 8 hours.

If you've not got a slow cooker I think it'll take a couple of hours in the oven.

This +1

I'm a qualified chef and have been for the last 20 years and the best thing to do with diced beef is just bung it in a casserole or a stew. Let it cook for hours slowly and it will fall apart when you eat it. Cant get much simpler.

Make sure you brown the meat first. Best and easiest way to do that is just get a freezer bag and bung some flour in it. A little salt and pepper and then dump the meat into it when its thawed. Shake it around and bung the floured meat into a hot frying pan with a little bit of oil. Let it brown. If it sticks a little just scrape it off with a wooden spoon. Bung the meat into the casserole dish for the oven. Put the frying pan back on the oven and add the red wine. Let that simmer and stir it around to get the crusty bits of meat off the bottom of the pan. All adds flavour. Dump that over the meat, add the stock and veg and forget about it in the oven for a few hours.

Make sure you make enough for the lads too though. We'll be there around 6. Laughing

Chilli con carne.

Doesn't have to be done with mince. In fact, I rate it better done with diced meat.

Chop and brown an onion, add the meat and brown that. I usually do this with groundnut oil so it's mad hot and seals the meat. If not, use vegetable or sunflower oil, olive oil doesn't get hot enough.

I usually add my chillis at this point and a sprinkle of flour to thicken the sauce, just stirr in the flour for long enough so it coats the meat and starts to soak up the oil and juices. A nice variation is to add a teaspoon of cocoa powder and a splash of whisk(e)y (flambé!). Then add stock and stirr well to deglaze* the bottom of the pan. Now add beans, either red kidney or mixed

Simmer with the lid on. The longer the better until you have a rich brown sauce. If it's getting dry, add more stock.

I sometimes add more chilli just before the end as the cooking tends to take some of the bite out of them.

Serve on nachos or rice.

If it's very fatty meat, you might need to pour off some of the fat during cooking to get it to brown properly.

*Deglazing is scraping all the browned stuff off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon which gives flavour to the sauce. Best to add a little stock first, deglaze, then add the rest of the stock.

Thumbs Up Laughing Laughing Laughing

A mistake a lot of people make is just brown the meat and wash the pan up. All that does is throw the flavours of the meat down the sink. You've got to use that crusty shit in the pan. The flour helps thicken the dish during cooking.

If theres no wine handy then throw some beer into it. Prefferably a dark ale or a stout but any beer will do. And you're all a bunch of bikers. You tell me theres no beer in your house I'm comin round with a handbag for you!

Used to cook alot when I trained using John Smiths and Boddingtons. Mainly used them because I'd rather drink the lager than use it lol. Cooking wine is not to be drunk though its fucking horrid lol.

Why would you cook with wine you wouldn't drink?

That's like making tea with water out of the toilet.

Another Thumbs Up for the slow cooker - i absolutely love mine. If you haven't got one, and are thinking of buying one, i can thoroughly recommend the 'crockpot' type that you can use on the hob first to brown things off.

I've currently got a Chorizo and mixed bean soup bubbling away in mine, should be ready in the morning for me to take to work in a flask.

Om nom nom.

Just as a matter of interest, is there any particular reason for covering the meat in flour before browning? I rarely/never do this and just tend to brown the meat my it's self and add flour towards the end of cooking depending on the water content.

this x1000! If I'm entertaining 'the lads' I'll make a big pot of this (based loosely on the recipe in the River Cottage 'Meat' book) which contains pork shoulder, beef and chorizo. Cooked in my big cast iron casserole dish (a fake Le Creuset number from Ikea of all places!) for roughly 3-4hrs at about 150'C till it all falls apart and you've got something so tasty that you'll actually enjoy throwing it back up again a few hours later when on the piss!

Standard industry cooking wine, cheaper than using proper wine I suppose. I don't like wine though and I don't like tea or water either lol.

It helps the meat brown better and as pinky said it thickens the stew.

Playing devil's advocate here but how can it help the meat brown better? You (or at least it's the reason I do it) brown meat to get the flavour of caramelising the sugars in the meat, surely by adding flour all you're doing is stopping maximum caremalisation from occuring by covering some surface and possibly burning flour?

I was always told it's an extra/easier layer to brown. Pinky might know better mate I stop learning ages ago and packed in cooking not long after.

ach yeah, I'm just being awkward. My mum always told me it was a chef'y thing to do and that you didn't need to bother with it in the 'real world' as it made little to no difference and it's just stuck with me...

Funnily enough, I had slow cooked beef casserole last night. Bung it all in the slow cooker and leave for nine hours while at work. The cheap, tough bits of beef just fall apart. 'Tis delicious.
