This comforting broth has the flavour of home at Easter for me. You'll need brisket or silverside for this recipe, and the cooking process is long and slow, but it makes the meat tender and juicy.
Ingredients
Serves 4–6
Step 1
Place the beef in a large saucepan with the beer, oranges, garlic, bay leaf, thyme sprigs, honey, vinegar, spices and peppercorns and cover with water. Put a lid on the pan and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 1/2–3 hours, topping up the water during cooking if necessary, until a fork can be easily inserted into the centre of the meat. Carefully remove the beef and put it on a cutting board to rest for about for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 500ml (2 cups) of water to the pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Put in the vegetables and bring back up to the boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Discard the orange pieces.
Step 3
Use 2 forks to pull the meat apart. Divide it between bowls and serve with the broth and vegetables.

Back to TopGreat tasting dish. I'd make a modification with the orange. Instead of just halving and putting the whole orange in which leave an orange rind taste. Zest and meat the oranges

Delicious winter stew, easy to make and economical (depending on the cut of meat). - I used a lot less than 1.5kg of beef, and the stew was still balanced in terms of meat/veggies ratio. - The honey made it a bit too sweet for my taste; I will definitely make it again, will probably use half the honey. - I used a pressure cooker so halved the time.

I made this using a crock pot on high for 8 hours. Used apple juice instead of the water and finished the veggies in a pot with the juices at the end. Sliced the meat against the grain instead of shredding. It was fantastic!!

Why has no one rated this recipe with over 200 saved?? It's a great and authentic recipe. This is similar to what my Irish Mum used to make when I was a kid.
