About

So you want to know a little more about me? I grew up in New Zealand. I think I was about 3 years old when I first put on an apron and started helping my mum in the kitchen. I was a terrible student. So, I unenrolled myself from school in year 10 and enrolled myself into chef school. Fast forward to now, I have cooked in some great restaurants in Auckland, London, Sydney and Melbourne. I also spent time in the business-side of hospitality, managing restaurants, cafes and bars in airports and mucking around with great Australian beef and lamb in a test kitchen. It’s a pretty incredible thing to be able to share what I cook with so many people now. I appreciate you all and love when you comment, ask questions and request your favourite dish. I have some pretty big goals for my food content, especially my YouTube channel. Andy x

Video Description

Three countries. Three legendary dishes. One question: Who does slow-cooked beef the best? From the vibrant, smoky flavours of Birria to the rich, spice-packed Beef Rendang and the deep, red wine braise of Boeuf Bourguignon - these are three of the world's most iconic beef dishes, each with its own story, technique, and incredible flavour. Breaking down exactly which beef cuts work best for each one and why, and the techniques that transform tough cuts into melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. We'll be judging on flavour, texture, and how difficult they are to cook. Whether you're team Mexico, Indonesia, or France, the winner? Your dinner table! A huge thank you to Australian Beef for sponsoring today's video.
