Jamie Oliver Beef Casserole Recipe
Jamie Oliver’s beef casserole is one of those comfort dishes that just warms up your table...and belly!You’ll find that the long, slow cooking process not only enriches the flavors but also tenderizes the beef to perfection.A key tip I always use is to go with a heavy-bottomed pan to ensure even cooking and better heat retention.And make sure to allow the stew to rest for a few minutes before serving, as this helps the flavors meld beautifully.
Servings: 6

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large casserole pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef chunks in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
- Let's brown all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- Remove the beef and set it aside. Then, add carrots, onions, and minced garlic to the same pan.
- Cook until the onions become translucent.
- Stir in the tomato paste, flour, and thyme, and then add the browned beef back to the pan.
