Beef Brisket Casserole
1.
Ingredients: Qingdao premium sirloin, 50g thin slices of parmesan ham, 2 tomatoes, 1 potato, 1 carrot, 4-5 garlic, half red onion (about 10cm in diameter), a little fresh celery, 2 pleurotus eryngii , 2tsp of Organic Termeric, 1/2 stick of Cinnamon, 1/2tsp of Dried Thyme, 1/2tsp of Dried Basil, 1tbsp Virgin Olive Oil, 30g butter, 1 1/2tbsp high-powder sea salt (appropriate according to taste), freshly ground Black pepper
2.
Roughly chop the green onions into small pieces and sauté the fragrant with olive oil.
3.
Wait for the onion to soften and color, add coarsely chopped garlic cloves, stir fry and turn to low heat.
4.
At the same time, preheat the cast iron pan and add butter, and wait for the butter to heat up to bubbling.
5.
Add the diced sirloin and stir fry over medium-high heat. When choosing sirloin meat, don’t avoid having more fat. Most of the white parts will become gum to enhance the taste.
6.
After the beef is slightly browned, add the fried onions and garlic cloves, add two tomatoes, flour and various seasonings, and stir. Don't put celery, black pepper, potatoes and carrots.
7.
After stirring evenly (make sure there is no flour deposit at the bottom of the pot), turn to low heat.
8.
If you use a cast iron enamel pot, you can pour an appropriate amount of water on the lid, so that the temperature of the lid can be lowered to help condensate water vapor inside and ensure the quality of circulation. In addition, a certain amount of water is sufficient, and the amount of evaporation of the cast iron pot is very small, or almost does not evaporate, only the water absorption characteristics of the ingredients need to be considered.
9.
Cover and simmer for 90 minutes. At this time, the meat tendons can still be chewy. I don't like excessively soft beef brisket. In addition to direct heating, you can also choose to put the cast iron pan into the oven to heat at 190 degrees, which will give you the taste of Slow Cooking!
10.
After 90 minutes, boil the pot and put in the sliced potatoes and carrot pieces, put the lid on and wait for the last 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off the fire and let it sit for 10 minutes.
11.
Let it sit still for 10 minutes, put a little olive oil into the pot and heat it over medium heat.
12.
Heat the oil and add sliced eryngii mushrooms. The oil must be hot, otherwise King Pleurotus eryngii will absorb a lot of oil and make the taste greasy.
13.
Sprinkle a little salt or freshly ground sea salt, and wait for the pleurotus eryngii to color until golden on both sides.
14.
Casserole is now complete, and the side dishes are fried pleurotus eryngii
15.
Chop celery and sprinkle lightly, and a little freshly ground black pepper, then serve with slices of parmesan ham.
