Cooking Steps
• Cut beef chuck into 3cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine beef, the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large ovenproof saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beef, turning occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
TIP: The flour will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour.
• Return the saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook soffritto mix, stirring, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and classic roast seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, the brown sugar and water, and stir to combine. Transfer to slow cooker and set cooking temperature to high. Place lid on slow cooker and cook until beef is tender, 4-5 hours.
TIP: No slow cooker? Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cover pan tightly with a lid (or foil). Bake until thickened and beef is tender, 50-60 minutes. Add risoni in the last 30 minutes of baking and stir to combine.
• In the last 30-35 minutes of cook time, remove lid from slow cooker, then add risoni and the butter to the stew. Stir to combine and cover with lid. • When stew is done, add baby leaves and stir through risoni until wilted. Season to taste. If the risoni is dry, stir through a splash of water.
• Divide Mediterranean beef and risoni stew between bowls. • Top risoni stew with grated Parmesan cheese. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
