Roasted Beef Portions

Last night we got to enjoy my grandmothers delicious roasted beef portions. It was devine!!! Portions because she cuts it up in big boney chunks and makes it look like fried meat. She does this because she prefers to have all the meat taste juicy and full of flavour.

INGREDIENTS

Chunky boney beef  pieces keeping bone on

1 to 2 onions - cut in chunky pieces

4 green chillies - sliced in the centre

little oil - do not put alot as the meat is quite fatty itself

salt for seasoning

course pepper

ginger and garlic mixture - around a full tablespoon

METHOD

Use a nice big pot for this, especially if your meat is nice and big pieces (remember this is a cow and not a lamb, so it has big bones) , dash a little oil in it then the onion, do not braize and all that, you not cooking the ingredients - you are going to boil the meat till tender.

Once the onions are in, throw in the chillies and rest of ingredients except salt. Place in your meat and immediately fill your pot up to 1/2 way or maybe 3/4 way, throw in your salt and leave to boil for 2hrs. Remember to keep checking as water runs out quickly and you need to put little by little to keep the steam up, BUT when it comes close to the 2hrs, there should be no water at all.

Its a perfect dish and remember it has to be slightly salty (Not sea water salty now - you must taste the seasoning) and serve with fried wedges, its divine!!!
