Stock Base

Ingredients

4 tsp The Natural Stock Co Beef Stock concentrate
2 onions, roughly chopped
30g ginger, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bunch coriander, stalks chopped and leaves reserved
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 kg beef (shin or chuck or oyster blade) cut into large pieces, about 6cm
3 spring onions, sliced into 3 cm lengths
1 cup hot water
40g dark brown sugar
100ml soy sauce
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp black peppercorns

To Prepare

Preheat oven to 150 °C

To make the ginger curry paste, add the beef concentrate, onions, ginger, garlic and coriander stalks to a food processor and whizz to a paste.
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan. Add the beef chunks, in batches, and fry until browned. When each batch is browned, transfer the beef to a plate.
To the pan, add the ginger paste and gently fry, scraping up any beef bits, until the paste is fragrant and softened.
Stir in the sugar, soy sauce, tomato paste and peppercorns and cook for another minute.
Add 1 cup of hot water and stir through the sauce to combine.
Return the beef, spring onions, coriander and any juices to the pan, then push the meat into the liquid.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, cover the dish with a tight-fitting lid or baking paper and foil, then place in the oven and cook for 2 hours or until the beef is meltingly tender.
Check on liquid levels regularly, and top up with beef stock if required.
Serve with jasmine rice, steamed beans and reserved coriander.

To serve

Steamed Jasmine rice, Green beans, steamed, Reserved coriander leaves
