What do these nutrients do?In the kitchen
How to make it.
- Heat the oven to 170°C, or 150°C fan. Cut beef into even chunks, slice onion and mushrooms, dice carrot, and slice peeled potatoes thinly.
- Brown beef in half the oil in a casserole in batches. Set aside. Soften onion and carrot in the remaining oil, then add mushrooms and crushed garlic.
- Stir in flour, then tomatoes and 650 ml hot water. Return the beef, add thyme, and bring to a simmer.
- Layer potato slices over the stew. Cover and bake for about 90 minutes. Add hot water around the edge if the casserole becomes dry.
- Uncover and cook for a further 30–50 minutes until the beef is tender and potatoes are soft with golden edges. Cook the peas thoroughly according to the pack and divide everything into 4 portions.
Fit it around your training.
Why this combination?
Lean beef provides protein and iron; potatoes make the carbohydrate part of the meal. A long, gentle cook softens the beef without needing a cream-based sauce.
