Title: Recipe review one -bowl beef and rice casserole : devil of a cookbook
Post by: Bambi on July 14, 2012, 11:47:21 pm

Made this for dinner and it was divine!
I thought it looked too watery towards the end and left the mc off for the last 5 mins but I probably didn't need to.
It was a great all in one meal. I used really cheap steak and it came out quite tender. I also forgot to set the parsley aside after the first step so there wasn't that hit of color in the end result.
Ill be making this one again!

It's Chelsea's Swiss Beef recipe from our forum Mandi - you've probably done it yourself  ;)

I want to make this dish but I always avoid making anything like this or beef stirfrys because I find the meat goes too tough for our liking. We always eat scotch or eye fillet steak when we have steak because we like tender meat, would either of these cuts be suitable to use in this dish? It looks delicious :)

This won't go tough like a stir fry might imo  cos the meat cooks in stock and goes lovely and tender mmmm

Fillet steak is far too good for this recipe Thermo Mrs, I use blade steak for this one.

You could use fillet steak for this recipe but it works well with cheaper cuts of meat.  :)

So does everybody usually use blade steak for something like this? Would that be the best cut to use? I bought gravy beef once to do in the slow cooker and it was awful, not tough but really sinewy and not very nice. Sorry for all the Q's, I'm just not very familiar with beef as we always use chicken, pork or lamb in our dishes :)

I use rump, blade or topside.  You could use even cheaper cuts but would need to cut around the sinew. I think the texture of the meat in this dish is similar to silverside when cooked.

I have been adding in a carrot and capsicum (chopped and sauteed with the onion).  Very yummy and saves steaming extra veg.  :)

Wow! We are eating this right now for lunch. It is amazing! I used rump steak but didn't have any bacon so I put in 2tbsp of caremalised garlic paste as a subsitute. We will definitely make this again. Thanks Chelsea :) 5/5

Made this tonight, not a pretty meal, but really tasty.  :D
I added button mushrooms with the rice, and steamed broccoli and carrots in the varoma. The veggies were a bit hard, probably because the temp was set at 100 deg instead of varoma, bit I just told everyone it was better for them that way!

5/5, will definitely make again.
