Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef chuck, diced
- 4 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 large Parsnip, peeled and diced
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 1 liter Beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced beef chuck to the pot and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the browned beef to the pot, then add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, diced parsnip, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer gently on low heat for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The beef should become tender, and the vegetables should be soft.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve the Lobscouse Lobscows hot with crusty bread or your favorite side.
