Beef and Mushrooms in a Spicy Coconut Curry
The spices really enhance the beef flavour in this dish. If you want a spicier flavour, the coriander and cumin seeds can be dry roasted before grinding. Served with Thai Sticky Rice and a fruity relish, this makes a very easy dinner party dish.

Afelia
A fantastic combination of light spices served with rice, a salad of mixed leaves and warm bread. It is very simple to make as it is slowly casseroled in one pot. Well worth it! The meat can be prepared the day before and left overnight. Use good quality pork fillet from your butcher.

Boeuf Bouginon
A traditional version of the Burgundy full bodied beef stew which is cooked slowly on the hob in one pot. This classic dish tastes wonderful and re-heats well so can be prepared in advance. Perfect for the busy entertainer. Try and buy good quality flavoursome chuck steak from the butcher - it will pay dividends.

Boeuf en Croute
A twist to a traditional boeuf en croute. Filo pastry has been used instead of the heavier puff pastry. An irresistable crunchy outer with a wonderful succulent fillet steak nesting below. Not as difficult to produce as you think and well worth the effort.

Braised Beef in Red Wine
In this country we are used to roasting a joint but this one pot way gives a delicious flavour. The vegetables are far too good to discard and the flavours too good to lose. Can be marinaded for up to 24 hours in advance [we have allowed 2 hours in the time plan] and cooked slowly in one pot for 2-3 hours depending on the weight of your meat. Utterly delicious.

Japanese Beef with Wasabi Cream

Monterey Jack Burgers
Juicy home made burgers with a surprise filling of melting cheese. Although the American cheese, Monterey Jack is used, a strong cheddar is an excellent alternative. You could even experiment with other cheeses like Stilton or Gruyere.
Tip! These burgers are quite a size and could be made smaller just by halving the quantities. They would then take less time to cook, but it is extremely important for them to be cooked all the way through!

Tamarind Steak
An unusual flavouring for steak but it works very well indeed giving a sharp tangy edge to the spiciness.
|

A very unusual flavour combination that works well without a dominant fishy taste. The sauce can be prepared in advance. The steak needs to be cooked as required just before serving.
|
Spicy Slow Cooked Beef with Coconut Cream
By slow cooking this dish the wonderful spicy flavours make a delicious melt in the mouth main course. A great dish for easy entertaining as it can be made up to 24 hours beforehand and reheated through. In fact the flavours mature better if made in advance.

Surf n Turf Skewers
An American favourite combination with the marinade containing another popular flavour - bourbon! One skewer has been allowed per person assuming you will be having this as part of a meal with other meats and/or fish. If this is to be your only main course then double the amounts. This is really delicious!
