A tasty simmering sauce for beef.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup low-sodium soya sauce
• 1/3 cup red cooking wine
• 2-3 tbs. rosehip jam
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• cracked pepper
• cut simmering steak or stewing beef

Directions

1. The night before, prepare the marinade.
2. In a bowl, mix together the other ingredients. The jam will be clumpy, but can usuaully be mixed in.
3. Cut the simmering steak into strips. (I usually go about 2 inches long, 3/4 inch thick. I don’t measure, but that’s about how they turn out.) Or, just take out the stewing beef. Place it in the marinade, and cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least for a few hours).
4. When you are ready to cook, simply toss it all into a fry pan and simmer gently till the meat is tender. If the sauce begins to boil off, mix together an additional 1/4 cup wine and soya sauce and 1 tbs jam, and then pour it into the pan.
5. The meat may take a while to cook, depending on how good it is, so allow enough time for that. My experience is it takes an hour to an hour and a half.
6. My preferred sides are sticky rice and boiled carrots. It probably wouldn’t go as well with potatoes as with rice, but feel free to substitute the vegetable of your choice.
