CORNED BEEF, HORSERADISH AND PARSLEY WHITE SAUCE

CORNED BEEF, HORSERADISH AND PARSLEY WHITE SAUCE

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Servings: 6
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Modern Australian
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.2 kg piece corned silverside corned beef
  • 1 onion peeled, studded with 6 cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 60 ml ¼ cup malt vinegar
  • 12 small new potatoes
  • Steamed greens to serve
Horseradish & parsley white sauce
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
  • 430 ml milk
  • 1 tbsp horseradish cream
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Rinse the corned silverside in cold water to remove any surface brine. Place the corned silverside in a large heavy based pot, large enough for the meat to be completely submersed in water. Cover the silverside with cold water.
  2. Place over a low heat and bring to just a simmer. Skim any scum that rises to the surface. Once all scum is removed, add onion with cloves, bay leaves, sugar and vinegar.
  3. Partially cover and keep the heat at simmering point, small bubbles will occasionally rise to the surface. Adjust the heat throughout the cooking time.
  4. Cook until the silverside is tender, about 1 ½ - 2 hours, adding potatoes for last 30 minutes of cooking time. A fork should easily penetrate the centre of the meat and potatoes should be tender.
  5. Meanwhile to make the sauce, heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually start adding milk, stirring constantly until all the milk is combined and sauce is smooth. Cook stirring, until sauce comes to the boil and thickens, simmer for 2 minutes. Stir through horseradish and parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Slice silverside against the grain. Serve with the potatoes, steamed greens and drizzle with the horseradish sauce.

Notes

Cooking the potatoes in the braising liquid adds flavour to the potatoes.
Chopped fresh chives also work well in the horseradish sauce.
You can substitute the butter with olive oil spread and milk with soy milk in the sauce for a dairy free version.

Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: Modern Australian

Ingredients
  

BURGER
  • 700 g minced beef
  • 220 g Brie rind removed + cubed
  • 1 tablespoon worcheshire sauce
  • 4 slices cooked bacon
  • 4 hamburger buns toasted
SWEET CHILI MAYO
  • 1/2 cup good quality mayo

  • 4-8 cherries pitted + diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded + diced
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil chopped
  • pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. To make the burger patties, form 4 patties and flatten slightly. pull away some meat from the middle of each pattie and add some cubes of brie. Form the patties over the brie and then flatten slightly to a burger. You should end up with the brie in the centre of the meat so it doesn’t escape when grilling.
  2. Drizzle each patty with worcheshire sauce. Cover and place in the fridge while you prepare the mayo and salsa.
  3. To make the mayo: combine the mayo, lemon juice, sweet Thai chilli sauce, basil and a pinch of salt + pepper. Mix to combine. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
  4. To make the salsa: add the corn, peach, cherries, jalapeno, lemon, basil and a pinch of salt to a bowl. Toss well to combine.
  5. When ready to cook the burgers, preheat the grill to medium high heat. Once hot grill your burgers until they reach your desired doneness. Just remember that these are pretty big patties and they will take a little longer to cook than most. Allow around 8 minutes per side.
  6. To serve, spread a little mayo on the bottom of your toasted buns. Top with the burger patty, bacon and then add the salsa. Add the top half of the bun and enjoy!

Roast beef topside with caramelised onion gravy

Roast beef topside with caramelised onion gravy

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings: 6
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: Modern Australian
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp black peppercorn
  • 1 tbsp English mustard powder
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp celery seeds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Around 2kg topside beef
For the gravy
  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3 tbsp caramelised onion chutney or marmalade
  • 2-3 tsp Marmite

Method
 

  1. Crush the peppercorns, mustard powder, thyme and celery seeds together with some salt, using a pestle and mortar. Stir in the oil, then rub it all over the beef. (If you have time, cover and chill the joint overnight to marinate. Bring the beef out of the fridge 1 hr before roasting.)
  2. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan and sit the beef in a snug-ish roasting tin. Roast for 12 mins per 450g (about 55 mins for 2kg) for medium-rare, or 15 mins per 450g (about 1 hr 10 mins) for medium-well.
  3. Remove from the oven, lift onto a platter, cover with foil and rest for 30 mins.
  4. For the gravy, pour any juices from the roasting tin into a jug. Let the juices separate, then spoon 2 tbsp of the fat back into the tin – if there is no fat, use 2 tbsp butter instead. Discard any other fat. Sit the roasting tin on the hob and stir in the flour, stock cubes, onion chutney or marmalade and Marmite.
  5. Cook for 1 min, stirring well to scrape up any beefy bits stuck to the tin, then gradually stir in 750ml hot water from the kettle. Bubble to thicken to a nice consistency, then gently keep warm until ready to serve with the beef, carved into slices.

Osso Buco in a Red Wine Sauce

Osso Buco in a Red Wine Sauce

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Osso Buco
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon ¾ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons duck fat or butter
  • 2 shallots finely minced
  • 1 carrots finely minced
  • 12 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste (you can use tomato paste in its place but the curry paste definitely elevates the dish)
  • teaspoon ⅛caraway seeds
  • 1 cup good red wine (do not use Two Buck Chuck for this people)
  • 2 cups ½beef stock
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme (or any other fresh herbs you have - rosemary would work well too)
  • crusty bread for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 160C. Dry the meat with paper towels, then tie each shank with twine once around, if you have it (it will help to keep them from falling apart, as they become very tender when fully cooked - if you don't have twine, it'll be fine, but they will probably fall apart a bit - they will still be delicious). Rub the meat with salt and pepper, then with the dijon mustard. Dredge the meat in flour, and set aside.
  2. Add your duck fat (or butter) to your pan over medium-high heat. Place your veal in the pan and sear on all sides for about 4 minutes, until well browned. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of duck fat or butter. Add in the shallots and carrots and stir for 5 minutes over medium heat, until softened, then add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add in the curry paste, then the wine and stock and scrape up any browned bits. Place the meat back in the pan, along with the sprigs of thyme. Place a lid on the pan and place in a 160C for 2 to 2½ hours, until tender. Serve alongside some crusty bread and be sure to scrape out all of the bone marrow!
