Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (stew meat or chuck, cubed)
- 600 grams Potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 300 grams Carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 200 grams Parsnips (peeled and sliced)
- 1 large Yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 500 milliliters Beef stock
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (dried)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the cubed beef to the pot and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
Using the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to the pot, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes to coat them in the butter and beef juices.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef stock. Stir well to combine.
Add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the broth level periodically. If it becomes too dry, add a splash more beef stock or water.
Taste the hash and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright and fresh finish.
Serve hot with crusty bread or flatbread on the side, if desired.
