Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine salt, pepper, bay leaves and paprika. Toss meat to coat, then cover, refrigerate and marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large (8-quart) Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat butter and oil over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, brown beef on two sides until dark and crusty, transferring to a bowl when browned (reserve bay leaves). As you cook, add more oil and adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.
• When all the meat is browned, add onions to the empty pot and return the heat to medium-high if you lowered it. Cook, stirring and scraping up the brown coating on the bottom of the pan as the onions release their liquid.
• Continue cooking until onions are deeply golden brown and soft, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, make a bouquet garni by tying thyme, parsley and reserved bay leaves together with kitchen string (or just throw them in the pot and warn your guests not to eat them).
• Push the onions to the sides, then add tomato paste, coriander and cinnamon to the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, until paste is darkened and fragrant. Stir in flour, cook another minute, then add stock, beer, 1 cup water and bouquet garni. Return beef and any juices in the bowl to the pot, bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven. Cook until beef is tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, turning it over halfway through.
• If the sauce seems thin, remove the meat with a slotted spoon; cover with foil to keep warm. Return pot with liquid to stove and simmer until thickened to taste, 5 to 10 minutes. Return the meat to pot and stir to heat through. Serve from the pot or a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, flaky sea salt, pepper and paprika. Serve with mustard on the side.

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of extra-virgin olive oil. Add the onions, and garlic to the hot oil and sweat them until very soft and very light caramel in color, 20 to 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan. Pat the meat dry and season very liberally with salt and pepper. Brown the meat to a deep brown all over, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Peel the potatoes and very thinly slice them lengthwise into planks. Slice the tomatoes working over a bowl to catch their juices.
• Arrange 1/2 the onions over top of the meat, season with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon thyme. Arrange 1/2 the potatoes over the onions and dress the potatoes with a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon, salt, pepper, rosemary, and a handful freshly grated cheese. Top the potatoes with 1/2 the tomatoes and their juices, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter a few leaves of torn basil. Repeat the layers. Do not add basil to the top layer of tomatoes.
• Cover the pan and roast the meat in the oven until very tender, 4 hours. Cool and store for make-ahead meal.
• To reheat: Reheat, covered, in a preheated 325 degree F oven until warmed through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Take off the lid of the pot, drizzle the top of the meat with oil, sprinkle with cheese, and broil to lightly crust the top.

Bring to the boil, cover and roast in the oven for 3 hrs, checking every 30 mins to see if the brisket is tender (but you may need to roast it for up to 5 hrs). Transfer the brisket to a board and leave to rest for 15 mins. Slice and serve with the stock spooned over and some steamed long stem broccoli on the side, if you like.

BEST EVER BRAISED SIRLOIN TIPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 300F.
• 2. Cut the beef into 1 inch (or slightly smaller) cubes, discarding any fat or gristle. Most of the "silver skin" can remain as it will melt in the long cooking.
• 3. Toss the beef in the black pepper.
• 4. Using a large Dutch oven or similar oven-safe pan with cover, melt 2 Tbl of the beef fat on medium-high heat. Brown the beef in small batches, adding fat as necessary. Adjust the heat to prevent the pan drippings from burning. Remove the last of the beef from the pan.
• 5. Discard any excess fat leaving enough in the pan to lightly saute the onions and garlic. Cook the onions and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to coat them with the pan drippings.
• 6. Stir together the wine, soy sauce, water and demi-glace paste until the paste is dissolved.
• 7. Add the browned beef cubes and the liquids to the onions and garlic and bring to a simmer.
• 8. Cover and simmer in the oven for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
• 9. Continue to simmer on top of the stove and slowly add the dissolved cornstarch, stirring to prevent lumps. This should quickly thicken the liquid to a rich gravy. Simmer another minute, if the gravy has not thickened to your liking, add more dissolved cornstarch but be careful! Too much cornstarch will turn the gravy into a sticky goo.
• 10. Taste and adjust with salt if needed.
• 11. Serve hot over rice, potatoes or noodles.
