Ingredients

1 ½ kg Beef Shin, cut into large dice

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cups seasoned plain flour (Gluten Free Flour can be substituted)

1 med brown onion, diced

2 inches fresh ginger, grated

½ tbsp garlic, minced

½ tbsp allspice

1 cinnamon quill

1 cup red wine

100gm tomato paste

1 tbsp honey

½ tsp salt

3 cups water

½ red capsicum, diced

½ green capsicum, diced

100gm whole dried apricots, roughly chopped

¼ cup raisins

4 cups jasmine rice, cooked

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over med-high heat. While the pot is heating coat the beef in the seasoned flour, shake off any excess flour. When the oil is hot, add the beef. Cook beef until it is well browned, and all of the juices have cooked off. You can do this in 2 or 3 batches depending on the size of the pot. Remove beef when brown and set aside.

In the same pot as beef add the onion, ginger, and minced garlic and cook until tender. Add the red wine to deglaze the bottom of the pot.

When deglazed return beef to the pot, then add the allspice and cinnamon quill. Stir and cook for about one minute.

Add the water, tomato paste, honey, red & green capsicum and salt.

Allow to come up to a boil then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on top, and let it simmer for one hour or until beef is tender.

Once the beef is tender add apricots, dates & raisins and simmer uncovered until braising liquor thickens.

To Serve

Heat jasmine rice and spoon into a serving dish.
