Ingredients
2tbsp olive oil
800g Asda Tender Lean Diced Stewing Beef
400g Asda Naturally Sweet Shallots, peeled and cut in half if large
4 garlic cloves, finely sliced
2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
4 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
1tbsp oregano
2tbsp tomato purée
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
220ml low salt beef stock
600g new potatoes, cut in half
Method
1
Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Place a large casserole pan on a high heat and add 1tbsp of oil. Brown the beef chunks in the pan in batches, removing and placing on a plate as you go until all the beef is browned. Set aside.
2
Reduce the heat, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and then the shallots, garlic, carrots, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, oregano and tomato purée. Cook for 1–2 mins, then return the browned beef to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes and beef stock.
3
Swill out the chopped tomato tins and add ½ tin of water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Pop the lid on and place into the oven for 1 hr 15 mins.
4
After this time, remove from the oven, add in the new potatoes, stir and add a splash more water if it looks like it needs it. Place back into the oven for 1 hr more.
5
Remove from the oven; the beef should now be lovely and tender. Check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed, and serve up.
6
If freezing, leave to cool and then add to a labelled freezer bag and freeze flat.
7
To reheat from frozen simply remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Once defrosted, pour into a saucepan and reheat until piping hot.
