Beef & Vegetable Casserole
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:

Recipe Reviews
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.
I love Irish dishes so much because they are always as rare and unique tasting as this.
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.
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.
The beef is so flavorful its baffeling, I think I'm fully obsessed with it now.
This takes forever to cook, that's the only downfall of this amazing recipe sadly.
Can't wait for st.patties day i'm going to make this again for lunch and then some yummy Irish bread muffins.
Bookmarking this page there is just so many things I want to try and this was my first one, it was delicious.
My husband loves when I make this for him, I usually add some corn to the potatoes and sourcream.
Your grandma had good taste and mustve been a proffessional chef! It's great!
FANTASTIC! This is a really good beef casserole with vegetables, It feels so refreshing with every bite.
This is one of my all time favorite dinners to make from this website along with the smoked salmon and cucumber.
Can't get enough of this one of the best lunches i've ever had and i made it in my own home!
Easily one of my top notch recipes that me and my family can't get enough of, I make this every week on Tuesday and the whole house comes running down stairs when they smell it!
I added some broccoli into mine and boy it was amazing with the worcestershire sauce for sure!
This is a really tasty casserole! I've never made anything like it before so I'm hooked now.
Had this with cheesy garlic bread and some fine red wine on the side for my and my husbands anniversary, we both really enjoyed it.
I swapped out the beef for pork instead tasted just as magestic as when I made it with beef.
Well done! Verified!
