Here is another of my recipes for Farmers Choice, who sent me the beautiful braising steak, bacon and Hampshire Honey that I have used in making it.
Autumn Harvest Braised Beef (serves 2)
340g braising steak, cut into 2 pieces
4 rashers streaky bacon, rinded and cut into squares1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 small Bramley apple
1 cob of sweetcorn, cut into 4 mini-cobs
125g chestnut mushrooms, thickly sliced
350ml dry cider
1 tbs Hampshire Honey
1 tbs plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
2 bayleaves
1 tbs chopped fresh thyme
1 dessertspoon rapeseed oil
small knob (about 10g) of butter
Push the onions and bacon to the side of the pan, add the
beef and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side then remove the meat to a plate and
keep warm. Add the mushrooms to the pan and mix in with the onions and bacon,
and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in any flour left over
from coating the meat, then blend in the cider, honey and herbs. Return to the
heat and bring back to the boil, stirring. Place the meat back in the pan, turning it well in the sauce, then arrange
the corn and apple around it. Place in the oven to cook for 1½ to 2 hours until
the meat is tender, stirring once or twice during cooking. The apple will fall
into the sauce giving it a delicious autumnal tang.

What a wonderful dish, bursting with flavours! Great autumn harvest recipe
