Pot Slow Roast Beef

Step 1

As you can see, you don’t need too many ingredients to make an unbelievable tasting dish, just well thought out ingredients with nutritional value and loads of flavour.

Step 2

In a mortar and pestle, pound the pepper corns – the star of flavour, a nice handful, sea-salt flakes, and oregano, chilli flakes to a medium combined texture. Now I don’t give measurements for how much pepper corns, I personally add alot, for an intense flavour, make this your very own recipe with trial and no error.

Step 3

My roasting dish is a Cast Iron French Casserole Pot with Lid and Oven is my method preferred with roasting, but you can also use the slow cooker.

Step 4

Slice Spanish Onion and garlic, into the roasting dish or cooker, I do add some of the pepper spice at this point, rub the remaining pepper herb salt mix onto your piece of beef well all over and place the prepared meat on top of the onions and garlic. Pour in wine half way up the wall of your cooking dish. Now we are ready to pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees celcius and prep the rack on low middle oven.

Step 5

Add shortcrust pastry over the top of the whole lot, with over hang over the cast iron pot as pictured, place the lid over the top to create the seal, fold pastry to created air tight seal, then your ready for the oven.

Step 6

Wrap all around pot and press to seal well with shortcrust pastry as pictured.

Step 7

Roasting time 4 1/2 hours, set timer and forget about it. Once the cooking time is done, allow it to sit till cool to the touch. Then crack open the pastry.
