Beef Shin Casserole in a Thyme Gravy
Beef shin is one of those cheap cuts that needs to be slow cooked to make it tender. Like most cheap cuts like this is full of flavour when cooked especially as there is a lovely marrow bone in the center which adds to the flavour. This is a slow cooker dish but can also […]
Mongolian Beef – Slow or Pressure Cooker
This is one of those dishes someone made up for western tastes as there is no such dish in Mongolia nor is there one in China. It isn’t one often seen in Ireland either and when you do see it, it isn’t anything like the original version. It is big in American – Chinese restaurants […]
Pork, Chicken or Steak Fajitas
This is a great recipe as 2 pork chops will feed a family of 4. You can use more if you like but it really isn’t needed. You can also use chicken breasts or steak strips if you prefer or use more veggies to make it a vegetarian dish. You can buy spice mixes in […]
Tomato Keema Curry – Minced Beef Curry
It isn’t very often you see a curry made with minced beef. Most use lamb, chicken or some sort of seafood and the few that use beef tend to use stewing beef or steak strips. The fact that this Pakistani curry is made with minced beef means that it can be made very quickly and […]
Deep Filled Beef & Ale Pie
I must admit, I love a good pie especially a deep filled pie with a shortcrust pastry bottom and a puff pastry top. Many of you don’t have the time to make pastry for a pie so this recipe uses shop bought pastry to make it really easy and less time consuming to make. I […]
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. […]
Beef & Ricotta Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
I never was a fan of meatballs, I found them to be mostly bland and dry when I tried them. I spent a lot of my earlier career working in Italian restaurants and found they were the same even then. So I came up with this recipe while working as head chef in a little restaurant […]
Simple Slow Cooker Beef Goulash
It doesn’t come much easier than this, family dinner without having to stand over the stove for ages so you can go about your busy day. Simply put all the ingredients into the slow cooker and walk away for the day. Beef Goulash is very similar to a stew only it uses peppers and paprika […]
Beef Lasagna
A good, homemade lasagne is such a warm, hearty dinner. Egg lasagne sheets are a little bit more expensive but taste better and I think they’re worth it. This dish is brilliant for freezing, so you could also double the portions and freeze some for another day.
Simple Chilli Con Carne
This is another quick and simple dish to make, perfect for busy mums and dads, as with most of my recipes, it doesn’t cost an awful lot to make either. Pop a bowl of cheesy nachos down on the table with a big bowl of this to share with your family or friends. Serve it […]
