Super Easy Shredded Beef Chilli Food

SUPER EASY SLOW-COOKER CHILI

Steps:

• In a large pan, add oil, and heat to medium-high.
• Once heated, add meat, cooking until browned.
• Add garlic, onion, peppers, carrot, celery, and corn, along with spices. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until everything becomes fragrant, and onions begin to turn slightly translucent.
• In a slower cooker, add ingredients from your pan, then return the pan to your element, deglaze with coffee, and add to slow cooker.
• Add in the beans, and tomato, cooking on low for around 8 hours, or high for about 4 hours. If you are using unsoaked beans, you will likely need to cook for a longer time period on low, for the beans to soften up (I cooked the chili this way, and cooked for about 8 hours on low).
• Once cooked, serve with a some shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, diced red onion, and some nice bread.

SUPER EASY SHREDDED BEEF CHILLI

Steps:

• Cut roast in fourths, cook meat in a frying pan on high heat with the olive oil until each side is browned, only cook one or two pieces of meat at a time so you do not overcrowd the pan.
• Put the browned meat, tomatoes, water, greens chillies, and taco seasoning in a large crock pot. Cook on medium heat.
• After about 6 hours add the beans to the rest of the ingredients, then cook an additional 2 to 3 hours.
• Check on the chili from time to time, if it begins looking too thick then add more water as needed.
• The chili is done when the beef begins looking stringy after stirring.
• When chilli is done serve with sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, cheese, and/or green onions.

SHREDDED BEEF CHILLI TACO BOWLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 170C /150C fan/gas 4. Tip the beef stock, spices, garlic, passata and chilli paste (or tomato purée, if using) into a large flameproof casserole dish and season. Place on a medium heat, bring to a simmer, then add the beef and coat in the sauce. Cover and braise in the oven for 5-6 hrs, or until the beef is really tender. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for around 30 mins.
• Using two forks, shred the beef into the sauce. Until this point, the dish can be prepared up to three days ahead - the flavours will improve over time. To reheat, stir in the beans and place on a low heat, then squeeze in the lime juice and keep warm on a low heat or in a low oven. Stir through the coriander just before serving.
• To make the taco bowls, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Brush each tortilla with a little oil, then tuck into a small ovenproof bowl or pudding basin and hold in place with a ball of foil. Cook for 8-12 mins until crisp. This can be done in batches if needed. If cooking ahead, leave to cool and keep in a large airtight container overnight. To serve, half-fill the tacos with the red cabbage & pickled chilli slaw, top with the chilli and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.

CRISPY CHILLI BEEF

Steps:

• Heat 100ml vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan until hot, then add the beef and fry until golden and crisp.
• Scoop out the beef and drain on kitchen paper. Pour away all but 1 tbsp oil.
• Add 1 thinly sliced red pepper, ½ thinly sliced red chilli, sliced white ends of 4 spring onions, 2 crushed garlic cloves and thumb-sized piece ginger, cut into matchsticks, to the pan. Stir-fry for 3 mins to soften, but don't let the garlic and ginger burn.
• Mix the 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce and 2 tbsp tomato ketchup in a jug with 2 tbsp water, then pour over the veg.
• Bubble for 2 mins, then add the beef back to the pan and toss well to coat.
• Serve the beef on noodles with prawn crackers, if you like, scattered with the remaining ½ sliced red chilli and sliced green parts of the spring onions.
