Recipe: Beef and mushroom one-pot-wonder

May 21, 2015 by Shari 4 Comments

I can’t believe how quickly it went from being lovely to down-right awful in terms of the weather here in Canberra. We had a few days where the sun was out and you could get laundry dry and the beautiful Autumn leaves were blowing in the wind. And then it was freezing, nothing dried for days even on the indoor dryer with the heating on and all the leaves on the ground were brown and crushed. 

When the weather is so miserable, it makes you not want to go outside. And these are the days that are great for long, slow cooking or ‘one-pot-wonders’. Dishes that you can just pop into a pot and leave on the stove or in the oven and forget about {well, don’t forget about it so much that you would leave the house with it still cooking}, until it is ready to eat.
Now I saw that there was a lot of mushroom lovers out there after my ‘What’s in my Kitchen’ post. So I thought that I would share with you my beef and mushroom ‘one-pot-wonder’.
This dish uses a variety of different mushrooms {which all happen to be in season at the moment}. 
See if you can get your hands on some Saffron Milk Caps – commonly known as pine mushrooms, saffron milk caps are distinctly vibrant orange in colour with a firm flesh and texture. Sizes vary and can reach up to 25cm in diameter. Due to the delicate nature of the mushrooms’ gills, green bruising is common; often misinterpreted as being old or decaying. Or some Australian Porcinis – Porcini mushrooms originating from Italy are renowned for their flavour and their wild mushroom redolence. 
BEEF AND MUSHROOM ‘ONE-POT-WONDER’
750 grams of chuck steak
500 grams of mushrooms
1 bunch of spring onions
2 litres of beef stock
500 grams of Campbell’s Simply Soup – Creamy Mushroom with Beef Stock
2 cloves of garlic
2 swedes
Layer the bottom of a baking dish with cubed swede, sliced garlic, mushrooms and spring onions. Top with the chuck steak and then cover with the beef stock and mushroom soup. Place in a 160 degree oven for 4hrs or until the beef is soft, tender and falling apart.
Remove from the oven, brake up the beef and stir through the one-pot-wonder before serving.

What are some of your favourite ‘one-pot-wonders’? Do you like slow cooking during the colder months? Do you find that preparing the meal earlier in the day works better for you when you have young children? Do you sometimes wish that dinner could just magical appear at 5:30pm/6ish?

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Get in my belly… I’ve been reading a lot abou Get in my belly…

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

However, I still seem to feel that mum guilt. I mean, I think I need to do a little more than just follow @drsophiebrock (@smallbusinessgrowthclub has so many good things to say about Sophie)… am I doing enough? Are they happy? Am I creating good memories for them? Am I giving them good life skills and coping tactics? Am I creating enough one on one time with each of them?

I know I’m a people pleaser, a perfectionist (and some … scrap that… most people I know say I am also an over achiever). How do I flip my thinking to focus more on the positive and not be so critical of myself? As I don’t want to pass on this trait to my kids.

Again @delishdeliveries did the majority of the work in preparing the Bulgogi beef.

Boil the rice. Stir fry the beef. Toss some gem lettuce with black sesame seeds and sushi seasoning. Top it all off with kimchi.

Mine was store bought. @staceyclare_healthcoach have you ever made your own kimchi? Have you got a good recipe?

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
