- Ready In:
- 2hrs 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 16
- Serves:
-
4-5
ingredients
- olive oil
- 1 kg topside beef, rolled
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 1⁄2 cup dry red wine
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon beef stock (concentrated, I use quite a dense paste, so adjust for taste and what you use.)
- 1⁄4 cup dry red wine, extra
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons cornflour
-
Mixed Buttery mushrooms
- 500 -600 g mixed mushrooms (Whatever is in season Swiss brown, button, shitake, oyster, chanterelles etc..)
- 70 g butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
directions
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a pan, add beef and cook, turning until browned all over. Remove beef from pan and set aside, wipe pan clean add about a tablespoon more of oil, add onions and garlic and cooked until onions are soft.
- Add herbs, red wine, water and stock, stir, return beef to pan cook covered, turning beef once for two hours or until beef is tender.
- Discard herbs, strain liquid into sauce pan, keep onions to one side. Turn heat up to medium high, add extra wine, mix a little water to cornflour and pour into sauce. Stir until sauce boils and thickens.
- Buttery Mushrooms.
- I cut the mushrooms in different ways for presentation at the end. For example Button mushrooms-halved, Swiss brown quartered, Shitake-sliced, oyster-halved, chanterelles-chopped. So adjust for what you can buy at the time.
- Heat butter in a pan, add mushrooms, stir until tender, stir in herbs.
- To serve slice beef and place on serving platter with mushrooms and reserved onions.
- I made this just for 2 and I bought a half a kilo of beef we are quite piggy with steak. This recipe will serve 4-5 depending on appetites. I also bought beef fillet as it is not expensive where I live, so the photo does look different, as it is thinner round than rolled topside.

This is wonderful comfort food and could easily be served to dinner guests it is so good. I used eye or round roast that was thinly sliced, dried thyme and oregano, and beef broth instead of water. DH likes to have gravy so I added a couple cans of Dawn Fresh mushroom sauce to the sauce in the pan. The only mixed mushrooms I could find were brown and white button mushrooms and I also used dried thyme and parsley on them. Served with Ice Cool Kitty's Recipe #364295. For leftovers the next day I added the mushrooms to the meat and gravy, wonderful again! Thank you The Flying Chef for posting this recipe! Made and reviewed for the Aussie Recipe Swap #33.
