This slow-cooked beef isn’t just comfort food —it’s functional fuel. Made with collagen-rich bone broth, anti-inflammatory spices, and a generous dose of Chief Organic Beef Liver Powder, it’s designed to support gut repair, healthy digestion, and boost your bodies iron stores.

The slow cooking process makes the beef incredibly tender and easy to digest, while the liver powder adds nature’s most bioavailable source of iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins — key players in energy production, and mental clarity. Topped with a fresh capsicum salsa for vitamin C and extra gut-loving enzymes, this is a deeply nourishing, real food recipe your body will thank you for.

2 full tsp Chief Organic Beef Liver Powder

Capsicum Salsa

1 red capsicum, finely diced
1⁄4 red onion, finely diced
Handful fresh coriander, chopped

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: homemade sourdough discard tortillas

2–3 tbsp water, as needed

Directions

Slow-Cooked Beef

Preheat oven to 150°C (320°F)
Cut beef into 4 large chunks. Heat oil in a heavy-based pot (like a Dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Sear beef on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 mins. Add all spices and salt.
Stir to coat and toast spices until fragrant (1 min).
Return beef to the pot. Add apple cider vinegar, broth, and beef liver powder.
Cover with lid and transfer to oven. Cook for 3–3.5 hours or until beef is fork-tender and easy to shred.
Once done, shred beef with forks and mix back into its juices.

Capsicum Salad

Combine everything in a small bowl. Set aside.

Optional: homemade sourdough discard tortillas

Mix all ingredients together into a soft dough. Add water slowly until dough is pliable but not sticky.
Rest for 10–15 mins (or longer in the fridge if prepping ahead).
Divide into 6 balls, roll each into a thin round.
Cook in a dry hot pan for 30–60 seconds per side until puffed and golden spots appear.

Assembly

Lay your tortilla flat. Add a handful of shredded beef, a spoon of capsicum salsa, and a sprinkle of cheddar on one half.
Fold over.
Fry quesadilla until golden and cheese is melted (2–3 mins each side).
Slice and serve hot!
