15. Australian Beef Casserole Recipe

Equipment

  • Large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid
  • Cutting board and Sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 lb. potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and bay leaf. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the herbs and spices are fragrant.
  • Add the beef broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf. Season the casserole with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Use a sharp knife to cut the beef into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to cook and eat.
Browning the beef before adding the vegetables and broth will add more flavor to the dish.
If you don't have an oven-safe pot, you can transfer the casserole to a baking dish with a lid before baking in the oven.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead.
