Beef, Mushroom and Carrot One-Pot

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 600g diced beef steak
  • 350g brown mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 4 small red onions, quartered
  • 4 sliced garlic cloves
  • 350g carrots, cut into lengths
  • 600ml veg stock
  • 4 tbsp sundried tomato paste
  • Fry the beef in the oil until browned all over, then set aside. Add the mushrooms, bay and thyme to the pan, cook for 5 mins, then tip in the onions and garlic and cook for 5 mins more to soften.
  • Return the beef to the pan and stir in the stock, carrots and tomato paste. Cover and simmer for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender and the sauce is thick and unctuous. Serve with mashed potatoes and some grated cheese, if you fancy.
