Why I Like this Recipe

I like this one on colder days when I want something warm and filling. The beef gets really tender and the veg picks up all the flavour from the sauce. It’s the kind of meal that’s simple but still hits the spot, and it’s even better the next day.

Tips and Variations

  • If you want a lighter stew, trim any visible fat from the beef before cooking.
  • You can use sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes if you prefer.
  • Mushrooms are a good addition and make the stew more filling without changing the flavour too much.
  • Sometimes I add a handful of cooked lentils at the end.
  • If you prefer not to use wine, simply add a bit more stock instead.
  • The stew keeps well in the fridge and tastes even better the next day.

Meal Storage

Let the stew cool, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer tips

Freeze the stew in individual portions for up to 3 months. Make sure it’s completely cool before freezing.

For the best texture, thaw the stew overnight in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until it’s piping hot.
