Slow Cooked Braised Steak

I don’t particularly like winter, except for the cooking!  It means more healing bone broths, nourishing stews and casseroles and warming anti-inflammatory soups.  It also means I can make use of my favorite kitchen item… The Slow-Cooker. 

Even though I love having nutritious, beautiful food to eat, I don’t like spending hours cooking, I want to spend that time with Indie and Dave.  So I’m all about time efficiency and the slow cooker is where it’s at. 

It’s also a cheap way to eat as you can use tough cuts of meat that are generally cheaper but after cooking for 8 or so hours are so tender, melts in your mouth. 

How?

Brown 1kg of braised steak with coconut oil in a fry pan

Add the following and simmer for 5 minutes.

• 3 cups of healing home made bone broth, 

• 2 cups of tomato sauce (homemade if you can), 

• 3 cardamom pods,

• 2 bay leaves,

• 1 teaspoon turmeric,

• ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt

• ½ teaspoon ground coriander

Put into the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours while you go about your day. 

Serve over cauli-rice or mix in steamed veggies of your choice.
