Beef Shin! What are we going to do with that? Why not slow cook it with cumin, soy, garlic, onion and most importantly 8 fat jalapeños for a fresh grassy heat. This cut has a real dark depth of flavour when cooked till it melts apart. Drool-tastic!
It's as easy as anything and dashed tasty. Let's get cooking!
You will need
Half a kilo of beef shin
4 cloves of garlic
8 big fat green jalapeños
1 medium onion
1 heaped teaspoon of cumin
2 tbsps of soy sauce
2 big tbsps of tomato paste
½ a pint of hot water
An iron crock pot for cooking it in.
And whatever you like to accompany it. Salad, rice or pasta. The world will dance merrily with your Slow Bullet Beef!
To make
First off, get your oven on at 120 degrees.
Put your crock pot on a medium high heat. After it is fair old hot, season your beef shin, chuck it in and brown on all sides.
Once browned remove from the pot
Finely chop your onion, garlic and jalapeños
Add some oil to the pot and add them in, reduce the heat to medium and fry for a few minutes
Add your tomato paste, cumin, soy sauce and hot water with a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Then plop your browned beef in
Pop it in the oven and now you are free to crack open a beer and settle down for three or four hours whilst it cooks.
After three or four hours, take the old girl out of the oven and open her up. Your beef should be all fall'y apart'y. Get two forks and in best shredding style give them a hard fork. Gettit!! ;0)
Turn the oven up to 160 and put the old girl back in the oven with the lid off for half an hour to forty five minutes. Checking that the sauce reduces to a nice thick consistency.
Once it's nice and thick you are ready!! Get it out and scoff it!!! Sometimes a nice squirt of lime at the end is really nice but it's up to you.
Enjoy!
NOMS! I could definitely eat that but the jalapenos might kill my husband.
Still, I'm saving the recipe for when my boys come to visit! :)

Looks really delicious. And with a good beer to slow the wait time. Doesn't get much better than that. Except I've learned a new phrase today from across yon sea. "Stonking Tasty". New goal...use that in a sentence at least once this week. Thanks for the great post, and the hardfork joke was quite nifty as well.

Hehe, I think I am glad you liked the phrase stonking tasty more than I am glad you liked the dish!
A good beer seems to fit in perfectly when waiting. I think I might have overdid it last night though as I feel a tad delicate today!

Thank you for posting @meesterboom.
This sounds absolutely lovely....and cooked in an iron pot really makes for the best results.
Appreciate the lovely photographs and detailed recipe which have Steemians looking forward to getting started.
The lime will be the perfect additional note.

Mmmmm that slow bullet looks like it's going to hit real hard, real good! Why did it have to be with an oven?? Haha! Since it's in a crock pot, I'll try the stove version whenever I acquire a beef shin. Perhaps in my quest around the old haunted cow dungeon where the Minotaur holds dominion over. Won't be as soft though, and as you said "fall'y apart'y", even though I give it a good hard fork. I don't want to imagine the mess the slow bullet will make in its exit wound ;) Nice, dude! And it really made me hungry just in time for lunch, too!
Ohh wait, I just thought of a local variant that looks similar. But, it swaps out the jalapenos for star anise, and is a sweeter version of it called Pares. There's also one where jalapeno is swapped for calamansi, which is a Filipino staple called Bistek Tagalog or Tagalog Beef Steak. It's amazing how the Slow Bullet Beef is standing side by side with local favorites :D

Those local favorites sound awesome!! What is calamansi?
The old haunted cow dungeon. Hehe, that made me giggle for sure. Yes you are bound to find shins galore there!!

Calamansi is like a Philippine Lime. It's sweeter and tartier than a lime, but I guess they can be used interchangeably.
I just got back from the dungeon, and I fear that instead of acquiring some mythical shins, I am minus one shin myself. I hope that belligerent bovine has fun cooking up the Slow Bullet Beef from my shin. In my haste to run away, I accidentally threw your recipe at him, so I'm sure he'll put it to good use. I did spot an oven in the labyrinth, so yeah.

Yeah, the name isn't the best is it! To think that the crop is actually referred to as rape sometimes. Yeek, damn that old English!!

It was meant as "to plunder" or "to steal", right? So I guess, the modern-ish English is at fault for muddying up what was a fairly innocent term haha!
