Beef Stew
This dish is healthy and at the same time tasty. The flavour comes mainly from the mixed herbs so be sure to be very generous with the herbs and also the sweetness of the tomatoes and vegetables.
Ingredients:
500g beef shin cut into cubes
1 large brown onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 large carrots cut into cubes
2 potatoes cut into cubes
5 large tomatoes (blanched, skin and seeds removed and cut into quarters)
1 cup mixed vegetables
3 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of red wine
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp Mixed herbs (thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary)
5 cups water
salt and pepper
Method:
Marinate beef in oyster sauce, worcestershire sauce, herbs, salt pepper and cornstarch and set aside for at least 30 mins.
Heat oil and fry onion and garlics until soft and fragrant.
Add beef shin and fry until brown. Add red wine and fry until a little dry. Add water, carrots and mixed vegetables. Boil and simmer in low heat for about 1 1\2 hours. Be sure to add water if it is too dry. Add tomatoes and potaotes and boil for another 20 mins or until potato is soft. Add salt and pepper to taste and more cornstarch if you want the stew to be thicker.
