M&S’s tender shin of beef is carefully chosen from trusted select farms – it has a wonderfully rich flavor, which is enhanced by slow cooking.
Â
Ready in: 5.5 hours
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 3 x 380g packs British shin of beef, cut into 5cm pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150g pack British smoked bacon lardons
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 12 Chantenay carrots
- 18 button mushrooms
- 500ml Belgian Wheat Beer with Orange Peel and Coriander
- 250ml beef stock, hot
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
For the dumplings:
- 250g self-raising flour
- 125g chilled butter, diced
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Method:
1. Heat the oven to 130°C/250°F/gas 1 (110°C for fan ovens). Put the flour in a large bowl, season, then toss the beef in the flour.
2. Heat the oil in a large, flameproof casserole and add the beef (you may need to do this in batches). Fry over a high heat until golden, then remove with a slotted spoon and put on a plate. Add the bacon and fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden, then add the vegetables and stir.
3. Return the beef to the pan, pour over the beer and stock, and add the thyme sprigs. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a simmer. Transfer to the oven and cook for 4½ hours.
4. Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and rub in the butter to form breadcrumbs. Add the Parmesan and parsley, then stir in 3-4 tbsp cold water and mix into a soft dough. Divide the dough into 12, and roll into balls. Sit the dumplings on top of the casserole, increase the temperature to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 (180°C for fan ovens) then return the dish to the oven without the lid for 25 minutes.
Dress it up:
Try leaving the rolled shin pieces whole so each of your guests receives beautifully presented portions of beef, perfect for a dinner party.
Per serving: 700kcals, 35.9g fat, 17.3g sat fat, 2.22g salt.
