Herbed Beef casserole, mashed potato, cauliflower.

Another bulk cook standby cooked today by G, the excess to go in the freezer. I'm home late tonight, so am the grateful recipient of a prepared meal.

Herbed Beef Casserole

1 kilo stewing steak

4 carrots

4 onions

400g tin tomatoes

140g tomato puree

2 sticks celery

salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried tarragon

300-400mls beef stock from a Knorr cube

mushrooms if liked

Warm rapeseed oil in large pan. Add chopped carrots and onions and soften. When soft remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Add cubed beef and brown. Return onion and carrots, add chopped celery and mushrooms. Add tinned tomatoes and tomato puree. Add herbs and seasoning. Add stock, bring to boil and simmer 2 hours minimum, but its a very good tempered dish and can stay on for longer.
