How to Make All Meat Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) fan-forced.
  2. Dice 6 kg (13.2 lbs) of beef gravy/shin beef (or osso bucco cut without bone, sliced thick) or a combination of your favourite cuts. (Adjust amount for smaller batches.)
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 120ml (4 oz) plain flour, 20ml (1 tbsp) brown sugar, 200ml (6.7 oz) tomato sauce, 20ml (1 tbsp) malt vinegar, 5ml (1 tsp) black pepper, 10ml (2 tsp) salt, 5ml (1 tsp) ground ginger, 5ml (1 tsp) dry mustard, 5ml (1 tsp) curry powder, and 2.5ml (1/2 tsp) mixed spice.
  4. Gradually whisk in 800ml (3 cups) beef stock (or substitute with 800ml water and 8 tsp beef granules – adjust salt accordingly). Whisk until completely smooth.
  5. Place diced meat in a large, oven-safe casserole dish (cast iron, stoneware, or oven-proof china – avoid clear Corningware).
  6. Pour the flour mixture evenly over the meat.
  7. Bake uncovered for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. For larger quantities (e.g., 6kg meat), increase cooking time to 3.5-4 hours. Smaller batches will require less time.
  8. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, prepare herbed dumplings (recipe not included) for an extra delicious touch.
  9. **Slow Cooker Instructions:** Brown meat before adding to slow cooker. Reduce stock to 750ml (2 2/3 cups) and cook on low for approximately 12 hours.
  10. Serve hot with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and Worcestershire sauce.
