Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan-forced. • Thinly slice celery and onion. Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop carrot and tomato. • In medium bowl, combine diced beef, the plain flour and a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large ovenproof pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return pot to high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil and cook diced beef, turning occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook the beef in batches to ensure it browns and doesn't stew.
TIP: The flour will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
• Return celery and onion to the pot. • Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add carrot, tomato, beef-style stock powder, red wine jus, the brown sugar, water and beef. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. • Cover pot with lid or tightly with foil. Bake until beef is tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes.
TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pot, transfer mixture to a baking dish instead!
Little cooks: Kids can help out with measuring the brown sugar and water.
• When the stew has 20 minutes remaining, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return potato to the pan. • Add the butter and milk to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• Divide potato mash and slow-cooked Irish beef stew between bowls. • Tear over herbs to serve. Enjoy!
