Under pressure – Hungarian Goulash

Leah — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 21:34:18 +0000

We are down to the last few meals from our portion of a cow from Bonnie Beef. I’ve been a bit stumped about what to do with our y-bone steak. I wanted something more than just a fried steak. Flicking through my Women’s Weekly “Pressure Cooking” cookbook I found a recipe for Hungarian Goulash. I [...]

It was Saturday night and my Mum and her husband were coming over for dinner. I had a 1.4kg piece of beef topside roast, a new pressure cooker and it was freezing cold. Dinner was on the table with just over an hours work on my part. The highlight, however, was the gravy. It’s a [...]

Unfortunately I can’t take credit for this recipe - this comes for the blog “For the love of cooking” and as she says, she has been perfecting it for 12 years now. I have to say, it’s a pretty great recipe.

Of course, I can’t seem to follow a recipe exactly, so here are my changes. [...]

Traditional roast beef

Sometimes you just want an enormous slab of meat…

This was our “rolled roast” from our Honest Beef box. It’s been in the freezer for a while and I haven’t used it because it needs a long time to defrost and cook and I never remember to get it out with enough time. The Easter long-weekend [...]
