Ingredients

  • 1 kg shin of beef cut into 2cm thick slices
  • 6 large garlic cloves peeled thinly sliced
  • One 10-12cm long piece or roughly 2 thumb sized nuggets of fresh ginger thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoon Redcurrant Jelly
  • 150 ml light soy sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 120C/250F/Gas Mark ½.
  • Season meat pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy duty, oven safe casserole with a lid and brown the. meat Do it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Turn the pieces so that they colour evenly. Set aside.
  • With your meat set aside, add ginger and garlic to the empty pan with meat juices and cook them until they soften but not brown. Add jelly, soy sauce and meat back to the casserole and pour in enough apple juice so that it covers the meat.
  • Add vinegar, whole chilli(s) and freshly ground black pepper (you shouldn't need any more salt because of soy sauce).
  • Cover and cook in preheated oven for 3 hours until the meat is completely tender.
