Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Put all the ingredients except the greens, oil, seeds and rice in an ovenproof pot with a lid. Add 200ml water, stir well, then cover.
step 2

Cook in the oven for 2 hours or until the meat is really tender. If you want a thicker sauce, scoop out the meat and boil hard for 5 minutes. Steam the greens, beans and broccoli until tender, and toss with a little sesame oil. Serve the beef with basmati rice and greens, and scatter over the toasted sesame seeds and a bit more chilli for colour if you like.
