Beef And Stout Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or deep casserole, and fry the onions and carrots until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the softened and oil-glossed vegetables to a bowl, and add the remaining oil to the pan. Put the flour into a large freezer bag along with salt and pepper, sage, and allspice; add the beef pieces to the bag, tossing in the flour, before searing the meat in the pan. Do this in batches, browning the meat a little and removing all of the beef to a large dish as you go.
• When all the meat is browned and out of the pan, whisk or stir in the orange juice and stout and let it come to the boil. Add the water and then return the meat and vegetables to the pan. Stir in the orange zest and bay leaves, bring to the boil and then turn the stew down to a soft simmer. Cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours. This is best reheated 1 or 2 days after, but if you are serving the stew on the same day, then add another half hour to the cooking time just to make sure the meat is soft, mellow and tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Remove beef roast from the package and place in a bowl, reserving juices. Shred into bite-size pieces using 2 forks.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste until combined. Stir in reserved meat juices, broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream.
• Stir shredded beef and mushroom mixture into the pot of cooked pasta. Spoon mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.
• Combine remaining sour cream and horseradish in a small bowl. Add dill. Spoon on top of the casserole.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in large lidded casserole dish, brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Add the onion and carrots to the dish, give them a good browning, then scatter over the flour and stir. Tip the meat and any juices back into the dish and give it all a good stir. Pour over the Guinness and crumble in the stock cube. Season the stew with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Tuck in the herbs and bring everything to a simmer.
• Cover with a lid and place in the oven for about 2½ hrs until the meat is really tender. The stew can now be chilled and frozen for up to 3 months - defrost completely before reheating until piping hot. Leave the stew to settle a little, then serve with Creamy parsnip mash for a true celebration of winter vegetables.

Steps:

• Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the beef in this to coat.
• Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and brown on all sides. Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds a lot of flavor to the broth. Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet over high heat, melt the shortening and quickly brown the ground beef with the onion. Stir in water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Pour meat mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange potatoes over the meat. Pour soup mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Top with whole wheat flake cereal.
• Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and put the kettle on.
• Put 2 thickly sliced celery sticks, 1 chopped onion, 2 chunkily sliced carrots, 5 bay leaves and 1 whole thyme sprig in a flameproof casserole dish with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp butter.
• Soften for 10 mins, then stir in 2 tbsp plain flour until it doesn't look dusty anymore, followed by 2 tbsp tomato purée, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 2 crumbled beef stock cubes.
• Gradually stir in 600ml hot water, then tip in 850g stewing beef and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Cover and put in the oven for 2hrs 30 mins, then uncover and cook for 30mins - 1hr more until the meat is really tender and the sauce is thickened.
• Garnish with the picked leaves of the remaining thyme sprig.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Put a large non-stick, flameproof casserole dish on a high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Season the beef and brown in batches until well coloured on both sides, making sure you don't overcrowd the dish. Remove each batch and set aside on a plate.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan and lower the heat to medium. Toss in the onions and cook for about 10 mins until softened and golden brown. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins.
• Add the stout and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any sticky bits. Return the beef to the pan, pour in the stock and add the thyme. Bring to the boil, then put the lid on and cook for 1½ hrs.
• Add the mushrooms to the casserole, stir well and return to the oven for a further 1½ hrs.
• Season to taste and stir in half the chopped parsley. Scatter over the remaining parsley to finish and serve with mash, if you like.

Steps:

• Cut the steak into 5cm cubes.
• Heat the oil in a heavy based pan and brown the meat in batches.
• Transfer the meat to a casserole dish that has a tight fitting lid.
• Add the onions to the pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Sprinkle the flour and mix with the onions. Once well mixed gradually add the stock and the beer and mix into a smooth sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the meat and add the raw bacon, thyme, prunes and orange rind.
• Place in a preheated oven at 160ºc and cook for 2 hours.
• Serve with creamy mashed potato and crusty bread.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large flameproof casserole and cook the meat for 10 minutes, until browned all over. Remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon.
• Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan, adding more oil if necessary, and fry until softened. Season to taste, add the flour and stir well so that the flour absorbs the fat.
• Return the meat to the pan, pour in the stout, and add the bay leaf and brown sugar. Stir well to mix.
• Cover and cook gently, either on top of the stove or in the oven at 350F for about 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.

Steps:

• Make the dough: Pulse the flour and fine salt in a food processor to combine. Add the butter and cheese and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 6 tablespoons beer and pulse to combine. Squeeze the dough between your fingers; if it does not hold its shape, pulse in up to 1 more tablespoon beer. Pat the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Toss the beef, flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, about 7 minutes. Add the beer and 2 cups water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer, then cover, transfer to the oven and braise, 30 minutes. Add the leeks, carrots and celery to the pot and continue braising, 1 more hour.
• Meanwhile, put six 10-ounce ramekins on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll out the dough between 2 lightly floured sheets of parchment into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle; cut into six 5-inch squares. Make a few slits in the middle of each square to let steam escape. Remove the filling from the oven and increase the temperature to 375 degrees F. Season the filling with salt and pepper and divide among the ramekins (there may be some filling left over). Top each with a square of dough, pressing the edges into the ramekin. Brush with the beaten egg. Bake until the crust is crisp and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest about 10 minutes before serving. Photograph by Anna Williams

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat in a large heavy based casserole dish. Add the beef in batches and cook, turning occasionally for five minutes or until nicely coloured. Remove and set aside.
• Reduce heat to low and add the remaining oil. Cook the onion and bacon for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Return the beef to the dish.
• Sprinkle the flour over the beef, and cook for one minute stirring, then gradually add the stout stirring constantly.
• Add the stock, increase the heat to medium high and bring to the boil. Stir in the thyme, season and reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours or until beef is tender and mixture is thickened.
• Preheat the oven to 200C/400°F Lightly grease a 1.25 litre oven proof dish and pour in the beef mixture. Arrange potato slices in a single overlapping layer over the top to cover the meat. Brush with olive oil and salt. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the potato is golden. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pat the beef dry using kitchen paper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large flameproof casserole, and fry the beef in batches over a high heat until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned batches to a bowl using a slotted spoon as you continue frying the remainder.
• When all the meat is browned, heat another 1 tbsp oil in the casserole, and fry the onion for 12 mins until soft and pale golden. Stir in the allspice, cloves, cinnamon stick, juniper berries, and a generous grating of nutmeg.
• Pour in the stout and cook over a medium heat until it has reduced by half. Stir in the stock, carrots, sugar, bay leaves and some seasoning. Return the browned meat to the pan, and bring the mixture the boil. When it's boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 1 hr 30 mins, stirring and checking the seasoning every so often. In the last 20 mins of cooking time, stir in the prunes (if you do this any sooner, the prunes will fall apart).
• Meanwhile, peel the baby onions and fry these in a small frying pan in the remaining oil over a medium-low heat until golden on the outside and soft in the middle (you may need to add a little stock or water to the pan to help them soften, if they're slightly bigger). The baby onions should be tender, but not falling apart. Stir these into the braise, check the seasoning again, and scatter over the chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:

• In a frying pan brown the steaks and set aside in a large casserol dish and add onions.
• Into the frying pan pour the beef stock and salt and pepper then cook until all the beef residue has lifted.
• Pour over meat and onions and cook for 1 hour.
• Stir into casserol the carrots, potatoes, kumera and thyme sprigs.
• Return to oven and cook another hour.
• With a perforated spoon, lift out vegetables and meat.
• Mix cornflour with a little water to make a paste and stir into stock until thickened.
• Pour over meat and vegetables and serve with seasonal green vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice potatoes into medium rounds.
• Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry potato rounds until starting to turn brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook and stir until browned and no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drain the pan.
• Combine beef mixture and cream of chicken soup in a large bowl. Add mild Cheddar cheese and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine panko bread crumbs with 1/3 of the Irish Cheddar cheese and melted butter.
• Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and spread 1/2 of the potatoes in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Irish Cheddar cheese. Cover with 1/2 of the beef mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes, Irish Cheddar, and beef mixture. Top with panko mixture.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
