Roast Beef - Aunty Yvonne

Recipe by Yvonne Pereira



 















Ingredients: 

1 kg beef (preferably shoulder cut)
5 whole kashmiri chillis
10 cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
10 cloves garlic 
1/2 heaped tbsp whole black peppercorns
salt to taste
roast potatoes (cut in wedges)  *optional

Steps:
  1. Put all the spices ingredients in a large pot.
  2. Cut the meat in large pieces and poke it all over with a fork. Cover and leave aside for 1/2 to 1 hour to marinate.
  3. Then, add a little water and cook for 5-7 hours in a slow cooker or pressure cook on slow heat for 15-20 whistles till all the masala and the juices from cooking dry up and coats the meat well.
  4. Slice thick or thin depending on what you’re using it for. 
  5. Grind the remaining spices saute the beef slices with it. 
  6. Serve with roast potatoes. 
  7. ENJOY!
Notes:
  • Always boil the potatoes and cut in wedges to accompany and shallow fry 
  • Use the leftover roast beef to make sandwiches or beef chilli fry. If you're making sandwiches, use horseradish paste on bread.
