Braised Beef Skirt

Braised Beef Skirt recipe, eat well on universal credit

Perhaps not the most appealing looking cut of Beef, but it tastes really good if you cook it low and slow.

Ingredients:-

400g of Beef Skirt, cubed
Flour to coat the Beef (Gluten free for us)
1 Onion, Thickly sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of Shaoxing Wine
200ml of Red Wine (It can to the most inexpensive / dreadful stuff!)
2 Bay Leaves
2 Star Anise
500ml of Beef Stock
1 Punnet of Mushrooms, chopped
2 Carrots, thickly batoned
2 Large Potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
2 Tbsp of Margarine
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Season the Beef with Salt & Pepper and coat in Flour.
(2) In a large pan or Dutch Oven add a little Oil and brown the meat on all sides over a high heat.
(3) Remove and set aside.
(4) Add the Margarine and reduce the heat.
(5) Fry the Onions until softened and add the Garlic cooking for a further minute.
(6) Add the Shaoxing Wine, Red Wine and Stock.
(7) Reduce the heat to simmer and add the Bay Leaves & Star Anise.
(8) Stir in the Beef and allow to simmer for 4 hours.
(9) At about 2 hours add the Potatoes, Carrots and Mushrooms.
(10) Leave partially covered for the remainder of the cooking time, stirring occasionally to prevent it sticking.

We served ours with home made toasted Olive Bread. This will easily feed 4 hungry people and was well within our self imposed budget. Also very tasty!

Chicken Bomber Burger

We were gifted some very good Gluten free Burger Buns by a friend. We also had half an uncooked Chicken in the fridge and some outstanding Snowdonia Black Bomber Cheese which was part of Sue’s birthday present from her daughter. This was the result!

Chicken Burger Ingredients:-

The meat from a Chicken breast and thigh
4 slices of Gluten free Bread, smashed up into Bread crumbs
1 Egg for an Egg wash
Milk to soak the Chicken in
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Chilli Flakes
Mixed Herbs
Paprika
Five Spice
Salt & Pepper

The Herbs and Spices are entirely up to you.

Method:-

(1) If you are using a half Chicken as we did, cut the breast meat off the bone and de-bone the thigh.
(2) Cut the breast meat horizontally into scallops and flatten the thigh meat out. Batter with a rolling pin if they look a bit thick to fit in buns.
(3) Soak the meat in Milk in the fridge for an hour or so to tenderise it.
(4) Beat the Egg.
(5) Mix your chosen Herbs and Spices into the Breadcrumbs.
(6) Egg wash each Chicken Burger and then dredge in the Breadcrumb mix.
(7) Foil a tray and place in a pre-heated over at 180c.
(8) Lay the burgers on the tray making sure they don’t touch each-other and stick together.
(9) Roast at 180c for about 30 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the coating begins to brown.
(10) Place each burger under the grill with a generous slice of Cheese on top and grill until the Cheese melts.
(11) Assemble your burgers.

We lightly toasted our buns. Added a layer of Garlic, Lemon and Wholegrain Mustard Mayonnaise. Followed by a Salad. Burger next, followed by sliced Pickles.

We served ours with home made Onion Rings and hand cut Chips.
