Beef hotpot bake

A WORD FROM THE CHEF

This beef hotpot recipe features a thick veg and bean-packed stew topped with crispy sliced potatoes.

It’s comfort food at its best coming into the back end of the year.

INGREDIENTS

750g lean stewing beef, visible fat removed, cubed

Two large onions, roughly chopped

Two carrots, roughly chopped

A level tbsp plain flour

300ml hot beef stock

2tsp Worcestershire sauce

400g can baked beans

Two bay leaves

600g potatoes, thickly sliced

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

Place the beef, onions, carrots and flour in a baking dish, season lightly and toss to mix well.

Pour in the stock then add the Worcestershire sauce, baked beans and bay leaves. Stir to mix well and arrange the sliced potatoes on top of the meat mixture.

Cover with foil then place in the oven for 2½ to three hours or until the potatoes are cooked and tender.

Remove the foil, then turn the oven up to brown the potatoes for 20-30 minutes or brown under the grill for five to eight minutes.
