Pairing: Beef hotpot or slow-roasted lamb

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Beef or Lamb (500-600g): The main protein that provides rich flavor and hearty texture.
  • Potatoes (500g): Used for layering; they absorb the flavors from the broth and become creamy when cooked.
  • Onions (1-2, sliced): Adds sweetness and depth to the dish.
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced): Provides aromatic flavor.
  • Vegetables (e.g., carrots, mushrooms): Adds nutrition, texture, and flavor complexity.
  • Beef or Lamb Stock (350ml): Essential for moisture and flavor.
  • Bay Leaves (2): Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • Worcestershire Sauce (1 tbsp): Adds umami richness.
  • Tomato Purée (1 tbsp): Contributes acidity and depth of flavor.
  • Herbs (e.g., thyme, rosemary): For seasoning and aroma.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the beef or lamb into chunks, slice the potatoes thinly, and chop the vegetables.
  2. Brown the Meat: In a large pan, heat oil and butter. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then brown it in batches to develop flavor.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, sauté sliced onions until soft. Add minced garlic and carrots, cooking until fragrant.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the browned meat to the pan. Pour in the stock, add bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato purée. Stir well to combine.
  5. Layer with Potatoes: If using a non-ovenproof pan, transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Layer sliced potatoes on top to create a lid.
  6. Cook in Oven: Cover with foil and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 50 minutes. Remove foil, increase temperature to 200°C (390°F), and bake for another 15 minutes until the potatoes are golden and the meat is tender.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot with green vegetables or crusty bread.
