OMG! Italian Style Rich lamb stew with honey and caramelised onion

The best stew you will ever taste. This slow braising method fuses the ingredients together leaving you with an incredible tender, moist and rich flavoured meat.

Lamb is becoming a more fashionable red meat as it’s a healthier meat as it contains many vitamins, minerals and B12. Try and buy grass fed and it will also have the heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids.

But enough about health, this recipe is about taste. If you like those rich casserole stews, then look further, this is a complete meal cooked in one pot. The slow cooking process tenderises the meat and develops the flavour.

A complete meal because it has carrots, peas, potatoes all built in. The best part is that it will taste even better the next day, so make a big pot. It’s also easy to freeze for ready made meals when you’re short on time. I usually place them in glass storage containers and then microwave them or add a splash of water in a saucepan and reheat on very low heat.

For the wine, make sure you buy a full bodied wine, like a shiraz or cabernet sauvignon. Do not go crazy on the price but don’t skimp either, the quality of the wine will affect the sauce. It is a red wine sauce after all.

As an option, I like to serve it with a crusty toasted bread, rubbed with a clove of garlic for that extra flavour. This is of course optional. Sprinkle some freshy chopped parsley or you can even use the celery leaves to add colour and freshness before serving.

The BEST Sauce Anyone Can Make

Classic French Dip Recipe

Note from Chef Gavin: The French dip is an American sandwich created in Los Angeles in the early 1900’s. It is named for the fact that it is served on a French roll or French bread. It is a sliced beef sandwich served with a side of the cooking “jus” from the beef drippings. It was said to have been created when the cook was making the sandwich for a patron and dropped the whole sandwich in the cooking juices and the patron liked it and ordered it again “dipped.”

Push that deli meat to the side. You have a Classic French Dip to make. To start, grab a well-marbled Certified Angus Beef ® top sirloin roast, and then follow this step-by-step recipe for the most delicious sandwich to ever hit your taste buds. You’ll also learn how to make au jus for extra bold flavor that you can drizzle on or dip into.



INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® top sirloin roast
1 Certified Angus Beef ® shank (about 1 pound)
3 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon neutral oil (like grapeseed or canola)
1 large yellow onion, root removed and cut in half
1 quart salt free beef broth
6 slices Swiss or provolone cheese (optional)

Here's my Christmas dinner recipe that uses this stuff:

****RECIPE****

8-10 pounds chicken wings
5-7 pounds beef shank and/or oxtail
4 red onions, peeled and cut in half
2-4 tablespoons tomato paste
oil
water
ice cubes

Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C convection (or 425 without convection). Oil a large roasting tray and put in the chicken wings. Oil another roasting tray or a rimmed baking sheet and put in the beef and onions. Roast both trays for about 45 minutes.

Remove the trays, and flip the beef and onions. Squeeze the tomato paste onto the chicken wings, and toss to coat them. Return the trays to the oven and roast them until everything is browned but not burned — about another 45 minutes.

Dump all the food and any juices into a large stock pot — at least 12 quarts. If any fond as developed on the trays, dry to deglaze it with some water and a wooden spoon, and add that liquid to the pot. Pour enough water in the pot to just barely submerge the ingredients.

Bring the pot to a bare simmer and hold it here for at least 12 hours, covered. Remove and discard the solids (no need to throughly strain at this stage), then bring the liquid to a boil and reduce the liquid by half, which should take about an hour. Transfer the liquid to a large bowl or other suitable container and add ice cubes until it's no longer hot.

Cover and refrigerate until all of the fat has risen to the top and solidified — overnight at least. If the fat still isn't solid, you can put it int he freezer for about a half hour — that should do it. Scrape all of the solid fat off the top and discard.

Return the liquid to the stock pot, bring to a boil, and reduce until it just achieves a syrupy consistency, stirring frequently once the liquid starts to get thick to keep it from burning. This could take up to two hours.

Let the demi-glace cool for a moment, then ladle it into ice-cube trays. You should get 32-48 cubes. Freeze them then transfer to a freezer bag. 1-2 cubes can be used to flavor and thicken enough pan sauce for 1-2 people.
