KNOFFEL BEESBOUD

(Boerekos : Dine van Zyl)

250 g spek

1 kop asyn

Sout

1,5 – 2 kg beesvleis

2 knoffelhuisies, of meer

sout en peper

½  kop meel

kookolie

125 ml warm water

Vir die sous:

1 eetl meel

2 kop water

Eintlik stop jou spek makliker as dit bevrore is. Behandel dit eers en sit dit dan in die vrieskas vir ‘n ruk. Sny die spek in repies van 5 mm dik en 5 cm lank en laat lê dit ‘n uur lank in asyn. Sprinkel nou sout oor en vries die spek.

Sodra die spek bevrore is, kan jy jou beesvleis begin stop. Vat ‘n skerp mes en maak diep snye in die vleis in die rigting waarin die vesels loop. Stamp twee knoffelhuisies fyn, en druk dit saam met die bevrore spekrepies in die gate in die vleis. Vryf die fyn sout oral om die vleis en jy marineer die vleis in ‘n skottel met die orige asyn waarin jy die spek laat lê het. Draai die vleis af en toe om.

Die volgende dag haal jy die vleis uit die asyn en vee dit goed af. Sout en peper die vleis goed en strooi meel oor. Verhit olie, so 5 mm diep, in ‘n swaarboomkastrol. Braai die vleis aan alle kante bruin in die warm olie. Voeg ‘n halfkoppie warm water by, sit die deksel op en verminder die hitte. Nou kan jy maar die vleis los dat dit gaar stoom. Dit sal ongeveer 2,5 uur lank duur. Jy kan die vleis een keer omdraai en teen die einde, wanneer jou vleis gaar is, kan jy die deksel afhaal en die vleis lekker bruin laat braai in die pot.

As jy nou ‘n bietjie sous by die vleis wil maak, dan gaan jy nou so te werk: lig die vleis uit die pot en hou dit warm. As die sous in die pot baie vetterig is, gooi dan die vet af. Roer ‘n bietjie meel in die orige vet en voeg water of water en rooiwyn by. Roer terwyl dit verhit word, sodat daar geen klonte vorm nie – daar het jy nou lekker sous.’

COCA COLA BRISKET:

Cola in the sauce helps tenderize brisket. Make the brisket the day before and reheat for best flavor.

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, peeled and quartered

1 two-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled

6 large cloves garlic

¼ cup Dijon mustard

½  cup dry red wine

1 to 1 ½  cups Coca-Cola or ginger ale

1 cup ketchup

¼  cup honey

¼  cup cider vinegar

¼ cup soy sauce

½ cup olive oil

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

1 Tablespoon coarsely ground pepper or to taste

1 six- to seven-pound first-cut brisket, rinsed and patted thoroughly dry

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place onion, ginger, garlic, Dijon mustard, red wine, cola, ketchup, honey, cider vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, cloves, and pepper into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth.

Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours. Turn brisket over and bake uncovered for one more hour or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.

The next day, transfer brisket to a cutting board, cut off fat and cut with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove.

Heat oven to 170 C Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

PERFECT ROAST BEEF

Jamie Oliver

1.5kg topside of beef

2 medium onions

2 carrots

2 sticks of celery

1 bulb of garlic

a small bunch of fresh thyme, rosemary, bay or sage, or a mixture

olive oil

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

To prepare your beef:

Take your beef out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven

Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/ gas 9

There’s no need to peel the vegetables – just give them a wash and roughly chop them

Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled

Pile all the veg, garlic and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil

Drizzle the beef with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the meat

Place the beef on top of the vegetables

To cook your beef:

Place the roasting tray in the preheated oven

Turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef

If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier

For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes

If you’re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them – get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking

Baste the beef halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them burning

When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so

Cover it with a layer of tinfoil and a tea towel and put aside while you make your gravy,

GARLIC ROAST BEEF
Ingredients: 

1 to 1 ½  kg roast or eye round, all fat trimmed off

3-4 cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers

olive oil spray

kosher salt, to taste

fresh cracked pepper, to taste

2 tsp dried rosemary

meat thermometer

Directions:

Remove the roast from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to reach room temperature.Trim all the fat off the meat. Using a sharp knife, pierce meat about 1/2-inch deep and insert slivers of garlic in each hole, pushing all the way in. Lightly spray the meat with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and rosemary. Place the thermometer all the way into the center of the meat.

Preheat oven to 180C. When the oven reaches 180C, place the roast in a roasting pan and put in the oven.

Roast until the thermometer reads 130° for rare, 140° for medium rare, 150° for medium, and 155-160° for well done. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest 10-20 minutes before you cut it so that the juices distributed evenly. I personally remove my roast beef from the oven when it is 135° for medium rare. The temperature will rise an additional 5 degrees as it sits.
