Stew and buttery, creamy mash potato
The stew is simple and it is a one pot pleaser. I love a good stew and buttery, creamy mash potato. A recent convert to mash and only with lots of butter, sea salt and creamed to almost smooth.
Ingredients
Stew
- 2lbs good stewing beef
- Chorizo chopped into strips, pancetta also a good alternative.
- 1 bag potatoes (best for mashing) peel and cut into chunks.
- Shallots peeled.
- 3-4 garlic cloves chopped.
- Peppers x2 red.
- Carrots chopped lengthways.
- Parsnip.
- Butternut squash cut into chunks.
- Mushrooms roughly chopped.
- 1 beef stock pot.
- Tin of Guinness or some red wine (alcohol will evaporate) this can be left out.
- Connacht Gold butter & cream for creaming potatoes.
- Fresh parsley.
- 4 tablespoons flour with salt to coat beef before stewing.
Method
- all in casserole dish
- add some olive oil and sauté onion and garlic , add chorizo (I used about 1 sausage length)
- add beef coated in flour sear quickly
- add all prepared vegetables
- add beef stock and water and Guinness or red wine (1cup)
- place into preheated oven at approx 180
- turn down heat to 150C and allow to slow cook for approx 60-90 mins.
- check beef is cooked by making sure the centre is brown and falls apart easily.
