Beef & Vegetable Casserole

Share

This Beef & Vegetable Casserole is a perfect dish to feed a crowd this St Patrick’s Day. It is a one of my Irish granny’s classic recipes. Tender beef, cooked low and slow with carrots, celery and onion. No fancy ingredients required, but sometimes I think the simple recipes are the ones that can be most satisfying. Wouldn’t you agree?

This recipe not only contains simple ingredients, it is really easy to make too. Start by placing all your vegetables in a casserole dish. Cook on the stove with some butter and olive oil until the veggies soften. Then add flour and tomato puree and the secret ingredient: Worcestershire sauce. Top up with water and stir in the beef chunks. Cook in the oven until the meat is tender and falling apart.

To make Beef & Vegetable Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:

Wasn't sure i'd be able to perfect this dish but turns out it's not too hard so long as you follow the steps religiously.

It waas okay but I liked it more when I made it with rice.

Yaretzy Wig

I love Irish dishes so much because they are always as rare and unique tasting as this.

Linnea Lavoy

Yummy and simple to make just how I like it, i don't mind waiting the long period of time when I get a 5 star dish like this.

The potatoes were so grainy to be honest, I think this would taste a lot better on it's own or on pasta.

Leona Eghbali

I'll be saving a lot of money now that I found this website you guys honestly serve up the best recipes that i can make for much cheaper and it'll be just as good as any resturant i'd go to.
