How long do you cook it down for?

Tough cut like chuck/brisket.

Yeah, I'd thought stewing steak. I've always used mince but had a look at this yesterday. I'll go the the butchers this morning and have a go today or tomorrow.
 
This is one of my favourites - though I usually add a bit more heat. Get your butcher to grind the chuck really coarsely.

225g bacon -- diced
3 medium onions -- diced
700g pork loin
700g cubed sirloin
700g coarsely ground chuck
2 15 oz. cans tomato puree -- 0.8872 L
500ml can beer
3 cloves garlic -- minced
1 jalapeno pepper -- seeded and minced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons chili powder
Salt and pepper -- to taste
Diced chilies — to taste
1-2 tins red kidney beans — optional
optional Shredded cheese -- optional

In a skillet, fry bacon until brown. Drain and place in the slow cooker. Remove all but a small amount of fat from skillet and saute onions until slightly brown. Place onions in slow cooker. Cut pork loin and sirloin into 1/4-inch dice and brown with ground chuck in skillet. Drain off fat and add meat to slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients except cheese. Set cooker on Low and cook for 6 to 8 hours. Meat should be very tender. Taste and adjust seasonings. If desired, sprinkle with cheese before serving.
 
Here's tonight's chili on rice with guacamole and sour cream.

I used some free range beef cubes from Woolies instead of mince for the first time and it turned out great. I tenderized it for about 40 minutes in the pressure cooker with beef stock and a few spices.

Enough to last a few days as everyone else is a veggie in the house so I can't wait to try it tomorrow as it always tastes better next day :p
 
All this guacamole and sour cream :love:.
Nice looking meals.
 
Chicken curry with cauliflower rice and some tomato salad.

Coconut Beef curry for us last night and today.
 
I use this recipe as a base but I convert (or go by the seat of my pants on measurements) since I cook much bigger portions. I used 3kgs of meat and adjusted accordingly.

I say I used it as a base recipe because I added 2 bunches of Spinach and fresh coconut instead of coconut milk.
 
Pork Belly served with a pickled cabbage and carrot salad.

Had to make two pickled salads. One with jalapenos and one with out. Wife was not keen on spicy food tonight.

Need to work on my plating up.

I also sometimes stick a raisin on my food to make it look charred :p.
That salad in the middle adds some cool color and focal point to the plate. Nice.
