Make dinner easy and satisfying with these flavour-packed beef recipes:
1. Classic Beef Bourguignon
This rich, classic casserole is perfect for family meals and easy entertaining.
Serves: 6
Prep Time: 15 mins (plus marinating)
Cooking Time: 120 mins
Ingredients:
- 1.5kg Amelia Park beef roast (diced) or Amelia Park diced beef
- 4-5 sprigs thyme, 4 sprigs parsley, 1 fresh bay leaf
- 2 cups red wine (traditionally Pinot Noir from Burgundy, but any dry red will do)
- 1 cup beef stock, 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp plain flour, 1 tbsp olive oil, 30g butter
- 12 small pickling onions or shallots, peeled
- 200g mushrooms, stalks trimmed

Method:
- Marinate beef cubes in red wine and herbs (in the fridge for up to 24 hours, or out of the fridge for at least 2 hours).
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Drain the beef, reserving the marinade. Pat dry, brown in batches, and then mix with the marinade, herbs, stock, and flour in a casserole dish.
