My all time favourite casserole / stew is based on Jamie Oliver's Jules Beefstew, Jo had the idea of including butternut squash in his vegetables which cooks down to a satisfying mush in the gravy and not browning the meat
my mum's beefstewanddumplings was my favourite meal growing up. i always remember it having a lot of delicious beefand potatoes, as well as pearl barley which was fun to search for at the end
Perfect for chilly winter nights, this easy peasy Beefand Ale StewwithDumplings is a total comfort food classic – the edible equivalent of a great big hug
Add the beef stock and return the mixture to a simmer. Remove the bouquet garni from the stew, season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir in the butter and redcurrant jelly
With floured hands, roll spoonfuls of the dough into small balls. The house smells divine, and everyone was hungry & eager to tuck in - just what I love
When the beef falls apart and the carrots are fork tender, the stew is ready to serve. I coated the beef lightly in flour and browned it in the same frying pan I had cooked the bacon in just to sear the meat, then put it straight in the slow cooker
This stew, as with most stewsand casseroles, is even better when it's a day old. I served this with giant Yorkshire puddings, mashed potatoes and peas for an alternative Sunday lunch and it was yum
If I can find an excuse to cook with bourbon and beer, I'll find it. This stew is packed full of bold flavor and lots and lots of chunky beefand vegetables
Peel all of your shallots, there's no need to chop these just peel off the skins and the little hairy bits at the bottom, these will soften and go beautifully sweet during the cooking
I started off with a Knorr Rich Beef Stockpot - just invaluable for dishes like this - then included some horseradish sauce, wholegrain mustard, Bovril, Essential Cuisine's veal stock, tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and to thicken the gravy just before serving, some of Bisto's "Rich and Roasted" Best beef gravy granules
