Homemade Smoked Bacon & Cheese Burgers
This is one of the first recipes I posted and the one dish that is responsible for me posting my recipes online in the first place. Use the cheaper mince with the higher fat content to make them as it make a far nicer burger than the steak mince with little fat. The fat falls […]

Beef Shin Casserole in a Thyme Gravy

Mongolian Beef – Slow or Pressure Cooker

Chinese Beef or Chicken in Black Pepper Sauce
One of my favourite Chinese dishes this is made similar to how you will get it in Hong Kong rather that the msg filled version most people are used to here in Ireland. The addition of the honey means the sauce coats the beef with a lovely stick sauce that will make your mouth water. […]
