Instructions
- Toss 700 g Beef chunks in the 3 tablespoon Plain flour and salt and pepper.
- Using a large, oven proof pan, heat 3 tablespoon Olive oil and add the coated beef chunks. Brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoon Olive oil and add 4 Shallots, 1 rib Celery, 1 Leek and 2 Carrot. Cook on low until softened, about 6 minutes.
- Add the beef back into the pan, along with 1 tablespoon Tomato puree, 600 ml Beef stock and 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Preheat your oven to 160°C/140°C(fan)/320°F/Gas 4.
- Cover and put in the oven for 2 hours. Remove the lid and cook for a further hour.
- Add 600 g Potato (sliced) to a pan of boiling water. Simmer for 6 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the beef and vegetables to a large baking dish. Layer the potatoes on top in an overlapping pattern.
- Mix together 150 g Cheddar cheese and 70 g Breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the potatoes. Put back in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the topping has browned.
Notes
- This recipe does have a LONG cooking time. That is how you get the results, by cooking low and slow. In a world of rising energy costs, I know that can be a little off putting to some people. So, we recommend using this recipe as an opportunity to batch cook some cookies and muffins whilst the oven is already on.
- You could swap the potato topping for mashed potato if you prefer. You could add some cauliflower in to the mashed potato for some hidden vegetables.
- To make this gluten free, make sure you use gluten free flour and breadcrumbs.
