Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1 kg Gravy Beef
- 3 tbsp Oil
- 4 medium Onion roughly chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 2 Carrots peeled and chopped
- 1/3 cup Brown Vinegar
- 1/3 cup Plum Jam
- 1 cup Beef Stock
- 2 tsp Sweet Chilli Sauce

- 2 cups Self Raising Flour
- 30 grams Butter
- 2 tbsp Chives
- 2 tbsp Parsley
- 3/4 cup Milk
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Cut meat into bite sized pieces, toss in the flour until well coated.
- Heat the oil in a heavy based saucepan and brown the meat in batches until golden.
- Remove the meat and place in a casserole dish. Also add carrots.
- Reheat the oil and add the onion and garlic and cook until soft.
- Pour this mixture over the top of the beef.
- In a small bowl mix together the plum jam, vinegar, stock and sweet chili sauce.
- Pour over the beef mix.
- Cover in foil and bake for one hour and thirty minutes or under meat is very tender.
- Uncover the dish and place the herb scones on the meat - put back in the oven uncovered for 30 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
To make the Herb Scones:
- Sift the flour in a bowl, rub in the butter until the mixture is like breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the herbs and add the milk and stir until just combined.
- Knead lightly until smooth and use scone cutters to cut out the scones.
Slow Cooker Method:
- Cut the beef into bite sized pieces, toss in the flour until well coated.
- Heat the oil in a heavy based saucepan and brown the meat in batches until golden.
- Remove the meat and place in the slowcooker (first give it a quick spray with canola oil so it doesn't stick).
- Add the onion and garlic on top of the cooked beef.
- In a small bowl mix together the plum jam, vinegar, stock and sweet chili sauce.
- Pour over the beef mix.
- Cook on low for 7 - 8 hours.
- To serve, make the herb scones in the oven, dish up into bowls and serve with the scones on top (you can't cook them in the slow cooker!).
