Method
Make it happen
- 01
Heat the oil in a large heavy lidded casserole on medium-high heat; use this one pot for all browning and simmering.
- 02
Brown beef, then soften onion and carrots with paprika; add flour and stock with tomatoes.
- 03
Simmer covered for 90 minutes, add cubed potatoes, and cook a further 25 minutes until tender.
- 04
Keep the pan at a gentle simmer, never a hard boil; top up a little water if the sauce becomes too thick before the meat is tender.
- 05
Check the meat is thoroughly cooked and tender, taste the gravy and ladle into bowls.
