DH is making chicken korma tonight.Spend less now, work less later.0

do you have the recipe please :T?
It's on the web! I'll see if I can find a link for you.
Found it - https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/braised_steak_with_gravy_24508.
I don't always use steaks but quite often use large cubes of braising or skirt steak instead. Always comes out really tender. I sometimes also cook it slightly longer than the recipe says with the lid off for the last 15 minutes or so to thicken up the gravy and then don't need to use the cornflour which I'm not keen on.
It freezes really well too.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

lunch was the other deluxe hotdog (is there such a thing?) for lunch in a brioche bun.
OH then came home and dug out a couple of vegan Italian whirl things from the freezer and grilled them. He has his with chips and I had mine with come LO pasta and veg from the other night.
Still trying to work through freezer stock rather than buy too much new.
Made two portions of chicken stock this week, that's 4 carcasses and some veg (I often keep carrot peelings and tops / bottoms to use in stock) out of the freezer and two lovely portions of stock in.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16
