Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 700 g braising steak we used two flat steaks
  • 2 onions finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 25 g ginger peeled and cut into slivers
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 -2 tbsp harissa
  • 40 g ground almond
  • 300 ml hot stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 85 g dried apricots roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • First thing in the morning (or approx 10 hours before serving), heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Sear your braising steak for about 1 min on each side, then move the steak into your slow cooker.
  • Into the same pan, add a tablespoon of oil, finely chopped onions, ginger and garlic and place on low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, then add ground coriander, cinnamon, harissa and ground almond and cook for another minute, stirring. Scrape the onions onto your braising steaks in the slow cooker, and pour hot stock over. Add bay leaves and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or 5-6 hours on high).
  • About 30 minutes before the meat is cooked, add the apricots.
  • Serve the steaks with a generous helping of sauce and rice or couscous! If your sauce isn't thick enough, have a look in the text above on how to thicken your sauce.
