  • 6 - Shallots, Halved & Peeled (Substitute With Onion)
  • 4 - Garlic Cloves, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 tsp (5g) - Ground Cumin
  • 130g (4.5oz) - Concentrated Tomato Paste
  • 160ml (160g) - Red Wine (See Alcohol Notes Below)

Instructions

  • Heat half of the oil in a large pan over high heat. Sear the beef in batches for 5 minutes or until browned; transfer each batch to a large heatproof bowl or plate. 
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan, add onion and shallot and cook for 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ground cumin and tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute. Add red wine, red wine vinegar and the chicken stock. Mix to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the beef back in with the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and bay leaves; boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, place on a lid and cook for 1 hour.
  • Remove the lid; add the oregano and currants (optional) and cook, uncovered, over low heat, for another 1 hour or until meat is tender and sauce has reduced. Season to taste.
  • Serve with mashed potato, veggies or whichever side dish you prefer. Spoon over the sauce and garnish with fresh oregano and cracked black pepper. Dig in.
