Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 180°C (fan).

Step 2

Heat a frying pan with a drizzle of oil over a high heat. Once it’s nice and hot, sear the beef on all sides, sealing in those lovely juices and flavours.

Step 3

Transfer the seared beef cubes over to a lidded casserole dish.

Step 4

In the same pan you cooked the beef in, add a little more oil and fry the onions for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle over your choice of dried herbs and cook for another minute before tipping the onions into the casserole dish with the beef.

Step 6

Staying with the casserole dish now, add the swede, carrots, and parsnips, and season well with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Give everything a good mix up and pour over the beef stock and Worcester sauce, making sure everything is covered (add some more stock if you need to).

Step 8

Put the lid on the casserole dish and put it in the oven for about 2½ hours, leaving the stew to work its magic while you tidy up or just chill.

Step 9

Once the stew has had its two and half hours in the oven, mix the cornflour with the Big Milk in a cup, and then stir this through the stew – this will help the sauce thicken.

Step 10

Put the dish back in the oven uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and looks just right.

Step 11

Serve up your delicious stew in bowls with mashed potato or crusty bread to mop up the sauce. Enjoy!

Enjoy!
