MCT Oil for cooking spray low-fat cooking spray
500 g Round steak or topside (all fat removed) cut into chunks
1 leek, sliced
3 sticks celery, chopped
2 medium carrot(s), sliced
1 medium portion turnip(s), chopped
2 portion stock cube, beef, dissolved in 850ml hot water
175 g mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
3 sprig fresh thyme, or 1tsp dried
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
500 g potato(es)
1 large onion(s), thinly sliced
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 5 / 190°C / 375°F.
Oil a large flameproof casserole dish with MCT Oil and place over a high heat. Add the
meat a handful at a time, so that it seals and browns. Add the leeks, celery, carrots and
turnip and cook for 3 - 4 minutes, until slightly softened.
Add the stock, mushrooms, parsley and thyme. Season. Bring up to the boil, then cover and
transfer to the oven. Cook for 1 hour. Meanwhile, par-boil the potatoes for 10 minutes. Cool
and slice. Remove the casserole from the oven and layer the potatoes and onion over the
top in overlapping layers. Return to the oven and bake for 45 - 50 minutes, without a lid, until
the potatoes are browned and crisp.
