  3. ¼ C Olivia's Basil Olive Oil
  4. 1 tsp (scant) red pepper flakes, add more or less to suit your taste

Total Time
4 hr 5 min
Ingredients
  1. 3 lbs chuck or round roast beef (or any similar beef cut suitable for slow roasting)
For the Sauce
  1. ½ cup Olivia's Fig Balsamic
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  4. 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  5. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 tbsp. honey
  7. ½ tsp. ground black pepper (optional)
  8. 1 tsp. chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees C (320 F)
  2. Place the beef in a large roasting dish, preferably one that has a lid. (you can use foil if it doesn’t have a lid).
  3. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce well in a bowl, then pour over the beef. Cover the dish and cook in the oven for 3-3½ hours, covered.
  4. After 3 hours, remove the dish from the oven. The meat will have shrunk a bit and there will probably be a good amount of fat on the surface of the sauce. Skim off as much fat as you can off the liquid.
  5. Using two forks, shred the beef as finely as you like, removing any excess fatty bits and spread out onto the bottom of the dish to soak up all the sauce.
  6. Return the dish to the oven, and roast for a further 30-40 minutes, this time uncovered, until darkened and the sauce is reduced slightly.
  7. Serve on rolls as an appetizer or an entree.
Notes
  1. Serve with potatoes, rice or in sandwiches. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.

  3. Prepare marinade by whisking the first seven ingredients together (the Blood Orange EVOO, chocolate balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper). Since the mustard is a good emulsifier, you don’t need to stream in the blood orange olive oil; you can mix all the ingredients at once.

For the scones
  1. 2 cups all purpose gluten free flour
  2. 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  3. ½ teaspoon salt
  4. ½ cup almond milk
  5. 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  6. ¼ cup maple syrup
  7. ½ cup Olivia's Blood Orange Olive Oil
  8. ¼ cup cacao nibs
For the glaze
  1. ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  2. 1 Tablespoon blood orange juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.
  4. Add almond milk mixture, maple syrup, and blood orange olive oil to dry ingredients, stirring to combine, fold in cacao nibs. The mixture will be oily - much more than traditional scones make with cold butter.
  5. On a lined cookie sheet, roll or press mixture until it is ¾ inch thick.
  6. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out your hearts and place on a separate lined cookie sheet. Continue to do so until you have used the entire dough. Mine yielded 16 miniature scones.
  7. Place scones in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  8. Bake scones, straight from the freezer, for 13 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
  10. Once cooled, make glaze.
  11. Start with powdered sugar and add blood orange juice one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  12. Dip scones and allow glaze to set.
