CROCK POT FRENCH ONION BEEF CASSEROLE

• Pour your soup on top of everything
• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours
• Put your stuffing mix in a bowl, top with your melted butter and 1/2 cup of liquid from your crock pot and toss (if you do not have enough liquid in your crock pot for 1/2 cup, add water to the liquid to make it a full 1/2 cup)
• Pour your stuffing across the top of your beef and cover and cook on high for about 10 minutes
• Spread your shredded cheese over the top of your stuffing and cover again and cook on high until your cheese is melted

BEER-BRAISED BEEF AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine salt, pepper, bay leaves and paprika. Toss meat to coat, then cover, refrigerate and marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large (8-quart) Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat butter and oil over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, brown beef on two sides until dark and crusty, transferring to a bowl when browned (reserve bay leaves). As you cook, add more oil and adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.
• When all the meat is browned, add onions to the empty pot and return the heat to medium-high if you lowered it. Cook, stirring and scraping up the brown coating on the bottom of the pan as the onions release their liquid.
• Continue cooking until onions are deeply golden brown and soft, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, make a bouquet garni by tying thyme, parsley and reserved bay leaves together with kitchen string (or just throw them in the pot and warn your guests not to eat them).
• Push the onions to the sides, then add tomato paste, coriander and cinnamon to the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, until paste is darkened and fragrant. Stir in flour, cook another minute, then add stock, beer, 1 cup water and bouquet garni. Return beef and any juices in the bowl to the pot, bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven. Cook until beef is tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, turning it over halfway through.
• If the sauce seems thin, remove the meat with a slotted spoon; cover with foil to keep warm. Return pot with liquid to stove and simmer until thickened to taste, 5 to 10 minutes. Return the meat to pot and stir to heat through. Serve from the pot or a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, flaky sea salt, pepper and paprika. Serve with mustard on the side.

BEEF AND ONION STEW

Steps:

• Dredge meat in flour; brown in butter in a Dutch oven. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add broth, vinegar, tomato paste and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender. Serve over rice or noodles.

BEEF AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• Beef Filling:.
• Peel and roughly chop the onions, carrots and celery.
• Remove the rosemary leaves from the stalks and finely chop.
• Put a large pan over high heat and add about 2 T. olive oil, all the chopped veggies, rosemary and bay leaves. Stir every minute for about 10 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and lightly colored.
• Stir in the ground beef and break up any large pieces.
• Add the mustard, Marmite, Worcestershire sauce and 2 t. of flour.
• Add the beef broth and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down, put a lid on, and simmer for about an hour. Make sure you stir it every so often. If at the end of the cook time the mixture is too soupy you can either thicken it with a little Wondra or flour or simply use a slotted spoon to get the meat mixture out without any excess liquid.
• Pie:.
• Remove the pastry from the refrigerator 10 minues before you need to roll it.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Fill a large baking dish with the beef filling and let it cool. (OR if you prefer to have a 2 crust pie, then first layer the baking dish with 1 pie pastry before adding the beef filling.).
• Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with some flour and lay the pie dough one on top of the other. Fold in half and roll the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Once it's large enough to cover the top of your serving dish, wind the pastry around your rolling pin and unroll it over the dish. Just patch up any rips or tears. Run a knife around the edge of the dish to trim off any extra dough. (OR don't put them together and use one for the bottom of your pie and the other for the top.).
• Using a fork, press down all around the edge of the dough to crimp it closed.
• Make a hole in the middle of the dough, using the tip of a knife.
• Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg (or milk).
• Bake on the bottom rack of your preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

BEEF AND ONION POT PIE/STEW

Steps:

• Strip any fat off the meat then cut into medium dice, prepare all the vegetables.
• Place the flour in a large plastic bag, then add half the meat, shake it about and get all the meat coated then do the same with the other half.
• Using either a frying pan or skillet, add half the oil and seal the meat, in two batches then set to one side.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan adding the onion, celery and garlic, cooking slowly for 3-4 minutes.
• Add the stock cubes, tomato puree, herbs, pepper and salt and the water ( do not add it all if you feel it will be too much ) and bring to the boil.
• Add the meat and simmer for 45 minutes this is where you can add the remaining water, but it should not quite cover the ingredients) then add the diced carrot. cook for a further 15 minutes Stir occasionally. Thicken if you feel the gravy is on the thin side.
• For a Pot pie, pre heat the oven to 200c.
• Using about 250 grams of pasty roll out until quite thin. place ingredients in the pie dish and cover with the pastry in the usual way. I only use pastry as a lid, I dont line the pie with pastry as well. Cook in the oven for at least 30 minutes.
• serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choice if serving as a casserole serve with vegetables of your choice.
