Oven Beef Stew & Cheese Potatoes
2-3 # of 1″ stew beef, cubed.
2 cans tomatoes (peeled)) can be stewed, whole, whatever…
2 c frozen peas
1 c sliced mushrooms (fresh)
2 c cubed cheese
1 tsp dill (chopped fine) (optional)
Mashed potatoes (to serve 6)
In a large oven-proof pot, add some olive oil and cook the mushrooms on
high for 2-3 minutes. Remove mushrooms from pot and set aside. Coat the
beef cubes in flour and brown fully in the pot with a splash more olive
oil. Add tomatoes, peas, onions & mushrooms. Cover and cook in a
325 deg oven for 1& 1/2 to 2 hours.
Cooking time depends very greatly on the cookware you use (glass,
ceramic, steel, copper) and on the amoun you prepare. To halve this
recipe, cook about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
You need to have you mashed potatoes finished and slightly warm about
20 minutes before the stew comes out. At that point, coat a 9×13 glass
pan lightly with butter or margarine. Fold cheese cubes and dill into
mashed potatoes and transfer to your buttered pan. Place in oven for
about 15 minutes.
Place a large spoonful of the mashed potatoes in a broad bowl and pour a ladle of the stew right over it.
This is probably one of my favorite winter foods.
