Are you in the mood for a hearty family meal? Casseroles are a great way to get great flavours into beef with very little ingredients. This Swiss steak recipe is a great weekend meal as it takes quite a while to braise in the oven. The style is European but you can add any of your local ingredients into the recipe. It’s best served as dinner with rice or mashed potatoes which the whole family can enjoy.

Seering the steaks adds flavour thanks to something called the maillard reaction which caramelises the beef. The recipe is simple but you can add any vegetables or extra herbs and spices you want to. The sauce is a quick rue made with butter, flour and stock which will naturally thicken the sauce. You can use any stewing meat or chuck for this recipe and it’s great with pork too.
