So apparently my iron is low so I need to get on the supplements and also start eating a bit more medicinal red meat. I'm not a vegetarian any more but left to my own devices i can go a long time without (much) meat. So I have some stewing steak defrosting but I can't decide between a chilli con carne or an old fashioned stew (both instant pot so it doesn't heat up the place too much).....leaning towards the chilli......

Anyone got any good recipes?

For economical cuts velveting w/ bicarb really does wonders I've found, and can replace more expensive cuts easily without noticing.

Velveting is a great technique. Food court quality at home!!!!

All kidding aside, cheap beef is elevated beyond belief with this.
