Indulgent polenta elevates cozy winter casserole.
Ingredients:
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 800g gravy beef, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 carrot, peeled, halved, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, trimmed, chopped
  • 1 parsnip, peeled, chopped
  • 30.00 ml fresh rosemary leaves
  • 510.00 gm beef stock
  • 69.38 gm tomato paste
  • 40.00 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 82.50 ml chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 515.00 gm milk
  • 150.00 gm polenta
  • 82.50 ml finely grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • 1. Combine flour and beef in a snap-lock bag, seal, and shake to coat. 2. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add half the beef and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate. 3. Repeat with remaining oil and beef for a perfectly seared dish.
  • Lower the heat and add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté for 3 minutes until they are tender. Put back the beef and its juices into the pan, then add parsnip, rosemary, stock, tomato paste, and vinegar. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender.
  • Prepare the soft polenta by combining milk and 2 cups of cold water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Slowly add the polenta while stirring continuously. Lower the heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes until thickened. Finally, stir in the cheese.
  • Sprinkle basil over the casserole and gently mix. Enjoy the casserole with a side of creamy polenta.
