Oven Baked Beef Stew by Jennifer Vaz


Ingredients:
Two of each: bay leaf, carrots, celery, tomatoes, onions. Cut into chunks
Beef for stewing. Cut into chunks
Optional, malt to replace water, tomato puree for a more tomato based stew.

Method:
1. Stir fry onions and bay leaves without browning it. Add vegetables and stir fry for ten minutes . 
2. Add beef then tomatoes followed by water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Transfer to a baking pan, cover the pan and bake in oven. I baked for one hour at 170 degrees. 

Note: 
Jamie said to coat the meat with flour before the stir fry but I did not. I think adding in red wine would add more omph but expensive. Have added stout before. Was yummy but bitter. Goes very well with toasted bread. Think can add more carrots and celery if desired.

Chicken & Beef Stew by Sheryl Poh


Ingredients:
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
300g boneless Beef Shank
300g Chicken meat
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, large diced
3 to 4 Cloves of Garlic (chopped)
3 cups water /stock
2 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
4 fresh coriander(garnish )
2 medium carrots
2 medium Russet potatoes
Some Paprika powder
Some Dark Soya Sauce for colour


Method:
1. Place 1/4 cup of flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk to combine; set aside. Cut meat into 1- to 1-1/2-inch cubes. Place the meat in the flour mixture and toss to coat; set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until simmering. Shake off the excess flour from about one-third of the meat and add it to the pot. Cook, stirring rarely, until browned all over, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a large bowl. Set aside.
3. Add onion and chopped garlic to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook until the raw flavor has cooked off, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Sprinkle in the remaining tablespoon of flour and cook, stirring occasionally, cook about 1 minute until the mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes.
5. Return the meat and any accumulated juices in the bowl to the pot. Add the stock/water and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
6. Cut the carrots and potatoes into large dice and add them to the pot (peel the carrots and potatoes first, if desired). Stir to combine, cover with a tightfitting lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and meat are knife tender, about 1 hour more.
7. Simmer uncovered until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Beef Stroganoff with Basmati Rice by Kathy Lim-Small


Ingredients:
Stewing beef (sliced into strips)
Brown mushrooms (quarters)
Onions (chopped)
Single cream
Sage
Parsley
Black ground pepper
Corn flour
Salt
Beef stock cube
Water
Butter

Method:
1. Marinate beef with corn flour and salt and set aside.
2. Sauté onions and mushrooms with butter and herbs until slightly brown. Add in beef, stir well in medium heat.
3. Add in boiling hot water enough to cover all ingredients with the stock cube. Add in single cream and bring to boil. At this point I turned off heat and remove my pot and transfer into my thermal bag to let it slow cook itself. If you don't have a thermal pot or bag, you could use your slow cooker to cook the way you want it just using the ingredients. Or stick in the oven for cook at 160 degrees for 2-3 hours.
