A low FODMAP warming winter casserole
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use rapeseed oil)
  • 600g stewing steak, diced
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 3 medium carrots (approx 300g) cut into large chunks
  • 2 medium parsnips (approx 300g) cut into large chunks
  • ½ a celeriac (approx 150g) cut into chunks
  • 500ml dark beer
  • 1 heaped tablespoon tomato purée
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons English mustard
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 4 sprigs thyme
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees C (fan oven)
  2. Place the stewing steak, flour, a good pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl and thoroughly coat the meat with the flour
  3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and brown the meat, you will probably need to do this in two batches
  4. Transfer the browned meat to a casserole dish and add all the vegetables
  5. Pour the beer into the frying pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape and de-glaze the pan, then add the tomato purée, mustard and balsamic vinegar and mix together
  6. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish, add the herbs and put a tight fitting lid on
  7. Cook in the oven for 2½ hours checking it half way through and adding more water if required (I find it needs about 150ml extra water)
  8. I like to serve with baked potatoes to make good use of the oven being on
  9. Freeze any leftovers for another day
