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 that’s 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 me…

Greek Moussaka

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. It’s a traditional Greek dish, and this is the closest I’ve managed to get it to the Moussaka we had when we visited Crete. It’s 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 you’ve 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 it’s way cheaper and I know exactly what is going into my food (you’d be surprised how much oil and sugar are normally in takeout meals). This recipe is easy to make and is such a crowd-pleaser.
