This hearty Beef and Root Veg Hot Pot Recipe is a perfect comfort food recipe to try this winter. This easy hot pot is all about low and slow. It is packed with slow-cooked beef, root vegetables, enriched with beef stock and flavored with allspice. And finally, it is topped with sweet potato rounds for a perfect, savory, spoon-tender all-in-one dish. I don’t peel the sweet potatoes, just scrub them well and then slice. But you certainly can peel them if you wish.
Also, I like to use red wine for this stew. Though the recipe doesn’t call for a bottle of wine and uses only 3½ fluid ounces, adding wine is totally optional. I love to splash in some wine to add the flavor, but if you are not a big fan of red wine, you can omit it.
To make the Beef and Root Veg Hot Pot Recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil and brown the beef in batches. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 more tablespoon rapeseed oil and add 1 sliced onion, 1 thickly sliced leek, 2 chopped carrots, and 1 chopped parsnip. Cook, stirring, for 10-15 minutes, until softened.
Return the beef to the pan and stir in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon allspice, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste.
Add in 3½ fluid ounces red wine if using, 2 cups beef stock, and 10 ounces passata and stir. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Add salt to taste if you wish.
Preheat the oven to 355 °F and prepare a 2-quart casserole dish.
Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Top with a layer of thinly sliced sweet potato and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
Cover with a lid and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the lid and broil for 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot with some crusty bread and enjoy!
