Recipe's preparation

Braised Beef & Mash

Sear & Flavour Base. [/b]



Season beef with salt and pepper.



Heat 15 g oil in a large frying pan (this step is better outside the TM6 to get proper browning – the TM6 doesn’t sear well with big pieces). Brown beef in batches, set aside.

Add onion, garlic, and carrot to mixing bowl → 5 sec / speed 5[/b].

Add remaining 15 g oil → sauté 5 min / 120°C / speed 1[/b]

Add tomato paste → cook 2 min / 120°C / speed 1[/b].

Add wine (if using) → 3 min / Varoma / speed 1[/b], measuring cup off

Add stock, Worcestershire, thyme, bay leaf, and browned beef.

Cook 90 min / 98°C / reverse / speed slow stir[/b], MC on.



If beef is not tender enough, cook another 15–20 min.



Remove thyme & bay leaf before serving.

While beef cooks, place potatoes in the Varoma dish & tray. Set Varoma in place during the last 30 min[/b] of beef cooking so potatoes steam through.



Once cooked, transfer potatoes to clean mixing bowl.

Add butter, cream/milk, salt & pepper → 20 sec / speed 4[/b], scrape down, then 20 sec / speed 4[/b] until smooth.
