Classic Beef Stew

Classic Beef Stew

A traditional braised beef casserole with thick, rich gravy and chunky veg – an ideal recipe for cheap cuts, as slow-cooking guarantees a tender dish. Freezer friendly.

50g chat/ new potatoes, cut into cubes
2 celery sticks, thickly sliced

  2. Put 2 thickly sliced celery sticks, 1 chopped onion, 2 chunkily sliced carrots, 5 bay leaves and 1 whole thyme sprig in a flameproof casserole dish with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp butter.
  3. Soften for 10 mins, then stir in 2 tbsp plain flour until it doesn’t look dusty anymore, followed by 2 tbsp tomato purée, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 2 crumbled beef stock cubes.
  4. Gradually stir in 600ml hot water, then tip in 850g stewing beef and bring to a gentle simmer.
