Ingredients

  • 1kg Ardtornish shin of beef, on the bone

  • 1/4 cup seasoned flour

  • 2.5cm piece cinnamon stick

  • 2 whole cloves

  • 1-star anise

  • 2 strips of pared orange rind

  • 1 cup beer

  • 1 cup beef stock

  • Cook: 4 hours 30 mins

  • Serves 4-6 Serves 4-6

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

Lightly dust the beef with the seasoned flour and drizzle over a little oil. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, seer the beef on both sides. Transfer to the casserole dish adding the remaining ingredients into the casserole dish.

Finally, gently fry the onions in a little oil, cook them for about 5 minutes before adding the beer of your choice. Once gently bubbling, add the beef stock and bring up to the boil, pour over the beef and cover casserole dish with lid or foils before slow cooking in the oven for 3 1/2 – 4 hours or until the meat is falling apart.

To Serve

Simply remove beef from the casserole dish and pull meat into shreds. It should be falling off the bone.

Serve on warmed rolls with your choice of garnish. We love to add gherkins, red onion and barbeque sauce.
