Fall-Apart-Tender Braised Topside of Beef image

I found this recipe in the booklet that came with my slow cooker (crock pot). Its supposed to be peppered but I opted to marinade my joint overnight instead. I used Karin...'s All Purpose Marinade (Although I used quarter cup sundried tomato infused olive oil and quarter cup chilli infused olive oil instead of regular olive oil). The original recipe uses 8 shallot onions, 4 regular carrots sliced, and 2 parsnips, sliced. But I used red onions, celeriac, and shatanay carrots. I advise you try shatanay carrots as they are so much sweeter than regular ones! I cooked mine for 8 hours on auto and it came out lovely and tender. Please take the gravy granules measurement as an approximation, and add to your taste.

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 kg rolled beef (topside with no added fat)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 red onions, peeled and quartered
1/2 a celeriac, peeled and cut into chunks
12 shatanay carrots, peeled and halved lengthways
4 garlic cloves
2 beef bouillon cubes
400 ml just boiled water
100 ml red wine
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons gravy mix

Steps:

  • Preheat slow cooker.
  • Heat oil in a large pan (I find a wok is best), and carefully brown beef on all sides, turning with two wooden spoons. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the vegetables and garlic to the pan and, stirring regularly, cook for 5 mins until the onions are beginning to go soft.
  • Transfer the vegetables to warmed crock pot and place the beef on top, push the beef down so it nestles among the vegetables.
  • Dissolve the stock cube in the just boiled water, add the wine, oregano, mixed herbs and pepper.
  • Pour over the beef, add the bay leaf and cover. Cook on auto for 8-10 hours or low for 10-12 hours.
  • Once the beef is cooked, carefully remove from the crock pot and place on a warmed serving platter. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and arrange around the beef. Cover and keep warm.
  • For the gravy, ladle the liquid left in the crock pot into a saucepan, stir in the gravy granules and bring to the boil, simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and savoy cabbage.
