  • 1 Tbs ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs ground cumin
  • 1 Tbs smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbs heaped dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Turn oven on to 160 °C. In a small bowl combine the dried spices and herbs (cinnamon, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano).
  2. Cut beef into large pieces (to fit into a large crock pot with lid or slow cooker) and rub in the prepared spice mix all over the meat. Season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear the meat well on all sides with a bit of oil in your pot. Once browned all over, set aside.
  4. In the same pot, drizzle extra oil (if needed) and gently sauté the onion and capsicum for a couple of minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Then submerge the seared beef into the sauce. Pop the lid on and transfer into the oven.
  5. Cook for approximately 4-5 hours until fall apart tender.
  6. Once ready remove the beef from the sauce and shred. Toss back into the sauce and serve as a delicious roast with potatoes and your favourite vegetables.

    Looks delicious! Would it still work okay without tomatoes?

      Thank you Mel. Yes this recipe could easily work without tomatoes. My son used to react to tomatoes so I often replaced the ingredient with pumpkin or sweet potato and it’s delicious. You can do that or add some broth/stock just so the meat doesnt dry out. xx
