Slow-cooked Bovril Beef Short Ribs with Sweet Potato Mash & Cavolo Nero

Slow-cooked beef short rib, served with mash and @Bovril gravy, is a high-protein dish that’s both satisfying and flavourful. The naturally sweet potato mash complements the rich beef, while the cavolo nero adds a fresh, slightly bitter note, balancing the meal perfectly.

Ingredients:

Beef Short Ribs:
2 tbsp Bovril in 500ml hot water
1.5kg beef short ribs
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 stick celery, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf

Sweet Potato Mash:
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
Salt to taste

Cavolo Nero:
300g cavolo nero
1 tbsp Bovril
Boiling water to cover

Method:

Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Season the beef ribs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, then set aside.

In the same pot, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in red wine, scrape the pot to deglaze, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in the Bovril mixture, thyme, and bay leaf. Return ribs to the pot, ensuring they’re mostly submerged.

Cover and braise in the oven for 3.5 hours until tender and the meat pulls away from the bone.

Meanwhile, boil the sweet potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes, then mash and season with salt.

In a small saucepan, dissolve Bovril in boiling water. Remove tough stems from cavolo nero, chop leaves, and cook in the Bovril solution for 5-7 minutes until wilted. Season with salt.

Serve the mashed sweet potatoes, top with a beef rib, and spoon over the braising sauce. Serve with cavolo nero on the side.

Enjoy! by @bovril

The Quickest and Tastiest Onion Gravy Recipe

This simple recipe is perfect for pairing with bangers and mash—it’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor!

Start by finely slicing a couple of red onions and frying them gently in butter over low heat. Once they’re softened, add some boiling water and two tablespoons of protein-rich Bovril. The deep, savory flavors of Bovril perfectly complement the sweetness of the onions, replicating the richness of a slow-cooked gravy in just minutes.

Bangers and mash is a true classic, and with this gravy, you’ll nail it every single time.

Recipe:
• 1 sliced onion
• 1 knob of butter
• 1 tsp Bovril
• 100ml boiling water
• 1 tsp cracked black pepper
• 1 tsp diluted cornflour (to thicken)

The Ultimate Cheese on Toast

Technically, this is a classic dish called Welsh rarebit—don’t worry, no rabbits involved! It’s a rich, cheesy sauce made with a roux, but instead of milk, beer takes center stage for a deep, malty flavor.

I’m giving this iconic dish a bold twist by drizzling it with @bovril , adding a rich, beefy kick to take it to the next level.

Recipe:
• 1 knob of butter
• 10g flour
• 150ml beer or stock
• Cracked black pepper
• Sliced tomatoes
• 1 tsp Bovril to drizzle

Spread it over toast, broil until golden, and enjoy the tastiest cheese on toast you’ve ever had!
