Steak & Stilton Hot Pot
Serves 6
Tender delicious stewed beef beneath a thatch of potato. This is a real family pleaser. Plan ahead as you need to marinate the meat overnight.
For the mash:
2 TBS butter
60ml whole milk, warmed (1/4 cup)
salt and pepper
freshly grated nutmeg
For the steak filling:
1 KG stewing steak (2.2 pounds)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
400ml of pale ale (1 3/4 cup)
2 TBS plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
2 TBS olive oil
2 TBS butter
100g chestnut mushrooms, sliced (1 1/2 cups)
8 shallots, peeled and sliced
500ml beef stock (2 1/4 cups)
75g crumbled stilton (2/3 cup)
Cut the beef into cubes and place into a non-reactive bowl along with the garlic, thyme leaves, and black pepper. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator over night to marinate.
The next day remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Dredge with the seasoned flour. Strain the marinade and reserve.
Heat the oil and butter in a large flameproof casserole. Brown the beef in batches, removing it with a slotted spoon to a bowl, as it browns. Repeat until all the beef has browned. Add the shalots and mushrooms to the pan and saute for 5 minutes or so until beginning to soften. Return the beef to the pan along with the reserved marinade and the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce and simmer over low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, until the meat is very tender.
Pipe the mashed potato on top decoratively or spread it over top and rough with the tines of a fork. If you are doing individual casseroles, place them on a baking tray. Pop into the preheated oven in any case and bake for 35 minutes until the potatoes are starting to turn golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Sprinkle a few TBS of cheese over top if desired and return to the oven to melt.
Let stand a few minutes before serving.
