Lemongrass Soy Chili Crisp Beef Short Ribs
Beef short ribs never fail to be one of my favourite meals to make when I feel like some comfort food. They pack so much flavour and are actually such a low-maintenance meal that you can throw together in a pot and forget about for hours until itβs time to eat.
These are made with Asian flavours, inspired by the Vietnamese dish SΖ°α»n BΓ² NΖ°α»ng, but with my own twist. The lemongrass and soy sauce make these so delicious, and the chili crisp gives it a little kick.
Best Italian Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce
This is the most comforting meal from my childhood. The trick is cooking it low and slow and not rushing the process. It is a game of patience, but it is very worth the wait if you have the time for it.
Ginger Miso Slow-Cooked Beef Short Ribs
Short ribs never fail to be one of my favourite dishes. They come out perfect every single time, and this dish is no different. The Asian flavours soak into the meat while it is slow-cooked until the meat falls apart. The miso gives it an umami depth, while the ginger and garlic give it a warm aromatic kick. You want to serve this with some rice to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
Roasted Soy, Balsamic, & Mustard Beef Tri-Tip
This tri-tip recipe is so easy to make and is so packed with flavour, I guarantee your guests will love it. It needs to marinade for at least 4 hours, so thatβs honestly the hardest part, the wait, but otherwise it just needs a quick sear and roast before slicing up and serving with the reduced marinade as the sauce. The perfect Sunday roast if you ask meβ¦
Beef Samosas
This is something that I loved to eat growing up. These are crispy on the outside, baked until golden, and filled with a perfectly spiced beef filling. They are a great snack, and are baked instead of fried, so they are healthier for you. Pair them with a peach or mango chutney, or a mint yoghurt dipping sauce.
Greek Moussaka
This is a dish that embodies a labour of love. It takes a bit of time and energy to make it, but it is worth every ounce of energy once you take that first bite. It is so full of flavour, perfectly balanced between creamy and meaty, and makes for the perfect comfort meal. Itβs a traditional Greek dish, and this is the closest Iβve managed to get it to the Moussaka we had when we visited Crete. Itβs also one of those perfect dishes to make double of, then keep in the freezer for a day when you want some comfort food instantly.
Best Beef Birria Tacos
These are a flavour explosion in your mouth! The chilis are not spicy and give the beef the most beautiful smoky flavour. You make the chili marinade, cook the beef until it falls apart, and then shred it up before placing it in a soft corn taco with some cheese and frying them up in a pan to get a slightly crunchy exterior. The result? The best damn tacos youβve ever eaten.
Better Than Takeout Hoisin Ginger Crispy Beef
This fakeaway Asian crispy beef is sooo good! I honestly find making takeout food at home so much better because itβs way cheaper and I know exactly what is going into my food (youβd be surprised how much oil and sugar are normally in takeout meals). This recipe is easy to make and is such a crowd-pleaser.
Meatballs with Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Packed with flavour and a great option for a weeknight dinner. This goes perfectly with my pea, beet & rocket salad. The lemon garlic yogurt sauce is so creamy and ties the whole dish together.
Beef Bone Broth
Bone broth is so nourishing and is a great way to start your morning, sipping on a warm cup of broth while soaking in some morning sun. Itβs much simpler to make than you think and is full of flavour and collagen.
Easy Beef Mexican Burritos
Packed with protein and veggies, it is a speedy, nutritious meal to whip up if you want a wholesome meal in just a few minutes.
Red Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs
If you want to impress your guests or want the perfect date night recipe, this is the one. Itβs incredibly simple to make, but the flavour is insane!
