Beef Casserole

Method

1. 1We used a slow cooker for this but you can use pot and transfer to oven. Heat your 1 tblsp oil and brown meat in 2 batches, approx. 3 mins each batch and set aside in a bowl.
2. 2Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and brown onions for 10 mins until softened, don’t burn. Then add smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, herbs and tomato paste, stir for 1 min until aroma released. Add crushed garlic and stir a further minute, then add meat to pan.
3. 3Once meat is in add beef stock, bay leaves, potatoes and carrots. Season with S & P. Simmer on low heat for 3 hours in your slow cooker or oven 150C. Stir after 3 hours and see if you need any more seasoning or herbs or paprika. Cook a further 3 hours until meat is tender and potatoes are cooked.
4. 4Add peas and cornflour mixture stir in and cook a further 30 mins.
5. 5Serve with crusty bread or some brown rice.
