Essentials

Ingredients

  • 700 g beef chuck, cut in 4 cm cubes
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 30 g plain flour
  • 30 g olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, halved
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 carrots, cut in 3 cm pieces
  • 150 g button mushrooms, halved
  • 200 g red wine
  • 300 g beef stock
  • 30 g tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Method

Preparation

  1. 1 Pat beef cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss in flour.
  2. 2 Add olive oil to bowl. Sear half the beef 5 min/High Temperature mode (or 5 min/160C/speed 0 with spatula to move meat) until browned on most sides. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef.5min / 160°C / sp0
  3. 3 Add onion and garlic to bowl. Chop 4 sec/speed 5. Scrape down. Add carrots and mushrooms.4s / sp5
  4. 4 Saute 5 min/120C/speed 1 with measuring cup off.5min / 120°C / sp1
  5. 5 Deglaze with red wine 5 sec/speed 3/reverse. Scrape down, then add beef stock, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, and the seared beef plus any resting juices. Stir briefly 5 sec/speed 2/reverse.5s / sp3
  6. 6 Engage Slow Cook mode at 98C for 6 hours (or 100C/reverse speed soft/6 hr on TM6). Leave the lid closed, opening it drops the temperature and extends the cook.
  7. 7 Remove thyme stalks and bay leaf. Taste for salt. Serve over mash or soft polenta.

Notes

Tips

  • Requires TM6 or TM7 for Slow Cook mode. On TM5 the nearest approximation is 100C/reverse speed soft for 90 minutes, the meat will be cooked but noticeably less tender.
  • Add 100 g pearl onions or halved baby potatoes in the final 90 min for a one-pot meal.
  • Total raw meat stays under the 800 g Slow Cook ceiling, do not scale this recipe up in the bowl without splitting into two batches.
