Casseroles are nice and warming when its cold outside! I used to find this sort of dish a bit daunting, but although they do take a while to cook, there's not much preparation especially if you buy the beef ready diced. They can just be left alone in the oven.
I like to serve this with baked potatoes which can be cooking in the oven at the same time.
Ingredients
- 3 red onions
- 4 carrots
- 4 mushrooms
- 400g diced casserole beef
- 1 glass red wine
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp corriander powder
- 2 bay leaves
- salt and pepper
Method
- Mix together the flour and corriander powder
- Coat the diced beef in the flour and spice mixture.
- Brown the beef in a pan with some oil. (Keep an eye on it as it can get a little sticky!).
- Chop the vegetables into quite large chunks. I've found that if you chop them too small they tend to disappear. Add to the beef in the pan and fry for a few minutes.
- Add the red wine. Season with salt and pepper and add the bay leaves. Leave the casserole to simmer for a few minutes.
- Cook in preheated oven (180 C) for about an hour.
