  • Step 4
  • Cover with lid. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 hours. Stir a couple of times during cooking.
  • In the last 15 minutes add cornflour mixture and stir through. Cook until mixture thickens slightly

The meat will just fall apart. I will even turn the heat down to very low after 3 hours and let it simmer for up to 5 hours .

I will also do all steps up to step 3 then add to a slow cooker but I then cook it for 6 hours. I do this step if I need to go out.

RECIPE NOTES
You can also use beef blade, oyster or topside steak for this recipe. These cuts of meat become lovely and tender when slow cooked.
Once cooked, the ragu can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, place ragu in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes or until ho
t.
If you want you can substitute 1 cup of the stock with one cup of red wine . If I do this I add the wine before the stock and cook for a few minutes before adding stock.
I don't add onion to this recipe

My kitchen is completed with just a couple of things left to do. Adding a plantation shutter to window and to put cover on rangehood and remove blue plastic

Before and after pictures. I have more bench space and more cupboards.

I did a better job of designing this kitchen than the professional designer of my old Tasmanian oak kitchen

Nice clean lines lighter and prettier than the other one have fun in it.👍
 
Betcha dont🤣
I will because next is painting my loungeroom and hallway . Then it's painting my bedroom and I want a new built in, which means sorting my clothes out and getting rid of at least 50%
Then it's painting the outside of my house 2nd floor.
Downstairs is double brick but upstairs is permulon.

Then we need a few days away . Poor hubby I've had the whip out.
I just told him they forgot to paint the kitchen window and I need it done so the plantation shutter can be installed.
4 Years ago I would have done it myself.
