A complete meal in a natural bowl — and a family dinner that looks more impressive than it is

Stuffed capsicums are one of those dishes that feel considered and generous without requiring much effort. The capsicums act as both the vessel and a key flavour component — they sweeten as they roast, infusing everything inside with a gentle, caramelised flavour. With a grass-fed beef and rice filling seasoned with herbs and spices, this is a genuinely satisfying, complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 large red or yellow capsicums
  • 480g Your Farmer grass-fed beef mince
  • 1 cup cooked rice (about 1/2 cup raw — leftover rice is perfect, or cook it while you prep)
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tin crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • Fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup beef stock or water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Slice the tops off the capsicums and remove the seeds and white membrane inside. Keep the tops — you’ll use them as lids.

4 capsicums

Brown the beef mince in a wide pan over high heat. Remove and set aside.

💡 Choose capsicums that sit flat — a slightly flat base means they won’t tip over in the roasting tin. If yours are round, slice a very thin piece from the base to create a flat surface.

A traditional Irish stew of lamb forequarter chops, potatoes, carrots and onions in a light broth with parsley.

Irish Stew with Lamb Forequarter Chops

Lamb, potato, onion and patience — the stew that proves restraint is a skill

The original Irish stew had three ingredients and a fierce loyalty to all of them: bone-in forequarter or neck chops, potatoes, and onions, layered in a pot and left entirely alone. No browning, no wine, no clever additions — the courage of this dish is in what it leaves out. The bones make the broth, the bottom layer of potatoes melts into it as a thickener, and the top layer steams whole. Two hours later you ladle out something so much greater than its parts that you'll understand why the Irish never let anyone improve it.

Herb and Dijon-crusted grass-fed lamb cutlets with a golden crumb over white bean puree and broccolini.

Herb and Dijon-Crusted Lamb Cutlets

Bistro looks from the standard four-pack

You know that rack of lamb with the green herb crust — the one restaurants charge like a wounded bull for? A cutlet is that rack, already cut into portions. So we borrow the whole trick: a quick sear, a brush of Dijon, a press of herby golden crumbs, then a short blast in a hot oven. The mustard glues the crust on and sharpens the lamb underneath, and the crumbs shatter when your knife goes through. It takes thirty-five minutes and looks like you trained for it. Four cutlets, two plates, one very good midweek dinner.

Slow-cooked beef rendang made with grass-fed diced beef in a thick coconut spice sauce, served with steamed jasmine rice.

Slow-Cooked Beef Rendang

The curry that cooks until the sauce becomes part of the beef

Rendang isn't a curry you serve swimming in sauce — it's a curry you cook until the sauce all but disappears into the beef. Coconut milk simmers down over hours with a fragrant paste of lemongrass, ginger and chilli, getting darker and richer until it clings to every piece. The diced beef pack was built for this: enough connective tissue to stay lush through a three-hour simmer where a lean cut would give up. A genuine weekend project — one pot, occasional stirring, and a finish no takeaway container has ever matched.
