How to Make Baeckoefe

**Marinate the Meats (Night Before):** In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs beef stew meat (cubed), 1 lb pork shoulder (cubed), 1 lb lamb shoulder (cubed), 1 large onion (diced), 2 leeks (sliced), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 cup dry white wine and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
**Prepare the Potatoes:** Peel and chop 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
**Assemble the Stew:** Preheat oven to 275-300°F (135-150°C). Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator, reserving the marinade. Grease a large, oven-safe casserole dish. Place half of the potatoes in the bottom of the dish.
**Layer the Ingredients:** Arrange the marinated meat on top of the potatoes, followed by the onions, leeks, and carrots. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
**Top with Potatoes and Marinade:** Cover the meat with the remaining potatoes. Pour the reserved marinade over the potatoes and add enough water to reach the top layer of the potatoes (approximately 1 cup).
**Bake:** Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 3-3.5 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
**Serve:** Serve the Baeckeoffe hot, straight from the casserole dish.
