Allow it to heat up until almost bubbling. Add the meat in 2 or 3 batches and brown it on all sides. Remove meat from the potjie and set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Add the onion, celery, garlic, bacon, coriander, cumin and thyme and allow to cook and soften for 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Remove some coals now to reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Add the meat back to the pot, add the potatoes, carrots, baby marrows and butternut (or whatever vegetables you have chosen). No need to stir.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Mix the tomato paste, red wine, beef stock and passata together in a jug and then add to the pot. Again, no need to stir through once the liquid is in the potjie pot.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Grind a generous amount of salt and black pepper into the pot.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Place the lid on and sit back and relax!<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Allow to simmer for 3 hours or longer, up to 4 or 5 hours.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Check the potjie every 40 minutes or so to make sure it is not too hot \u2013 you want a gentle simmer and not a ferocious boil!<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">You may want to stir the potjie after an hour or two to make sure the meat is not stuck to the bottom. Generally speaking, you want to avoid over-stirring.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">If you have too much liquid towards the end, just take the lid off and allow some liquid to burn off.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">Serve with rice or mashed potato or even pasta!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0 https:\/\/justeasyrecipes.com\/2024\/02\/28\/melt-in-your-mouth-beef-potjie-recipe\/<\/p>\n<div class=\"hide-redirect-shortcode\">\t\t<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"60; url=https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/\">\r\n\t\tPlease wait while you are redirected...or <a href=\"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/\">Click Here<\/a> if you do not want to wait.\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qrcpromodalwrapper\" style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"qrc-modal-toggle\" id=\"popModal_ex2\" style=\"background:#d81313;color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid #ce1e1e;border-radius:20px;padding: 6px 14px;font-size:17px\">Click To View On Phone<\/button><div class=\"qrc_modal\"><div class=\"qrc-overlay qrc-modal-toggle\"><\/div><div class=\"qrc-modal-wrapper qrc-modal-transition\"><span class=\"qrc-modal-toggle\">&times;<\/span><div class=\"qrcswholewtapper\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"qrcprowrapper\"  id=\"qrcwraa2leds\"><div class=\"qrc_canvass\" id=\"qrc_cuttenpages_2\" style=\"display:inline-block\" data-text=\"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/recipe\/beef-potjie\/\"><\/div><div><a download=\"Beef Potjie.png\" class=\"qrcdownloads\" id=\"worign\">\r\n           <button type=\"button\" style=\"min-width:250px;background:#c0081d;color:#ffffff;font-weight: 600;border: 1px solid #e2141b;border-radius:20px;font-size:17px;padding: 6px 0;\" class=\"uqr_code_btn\">Scan QR \ud83e\udc0b<\/button>\r\n           <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 800g-1kg beef blade, chopped 1 tablespoons\u00a0butter 4 tablespoons\u00a0sunflower oil 2\u20133\u00a0garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons\u00a0flour to sprinkle over meat 3\u00a0onions, chopped 1 cup\u00a0celery, chopped 1\u00a0pack diced bacon 1 teaspoon\u00a0thyme 1 teaspoon\u00a0ground coriander 1 teaspoon\u00a0ground cumin 1\u00a0butternut chopped (2\u20133\u00a0cups chopped) 10\u00a0baby potatoes, cut in half 2\u00a0carrots, sliced diagonally 4\u00a0small or\u00a02\u00a0large baby marrows, sliced diagonally 2 tablespoons [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"recipe-course":[],"recipe-cuisine":[69],"recipe-cooking-method":[],"recipe-tag":[],"recipe-key":[],"recipe-badge":[],"recipe-dietary":[],"class_list":["post-32781","recipe","type-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","recipe-cuisine-beef-blade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/32781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32781"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"recipe-course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-course?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-cuisine?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-cooking-method","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-cooking-method?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-tag?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-key","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-key?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-badge","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-badge?post=32781"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-dietary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-dietary?post=32781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
