How to Make Beef And Bacon Casserole

  1. Cut 500g beef steak into 2.5cm cubes.
  2. Wrap 150g bacon rashers in absorbent paper and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Chop 1 large onion and 2 cloves garlic.
  4. Coat a large ovenproof casserole dish with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat and cook onions and garlic until onions are softened and slightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add beef cubes to the casserole dish and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Stir in 150ml red wine (or beef broth), 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 250ml water, and 2 beef stock cubes.
  7. Bring to a simmer, cover the casserole dish, and transfer to a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45 minutes.
  8. Stir in 250g sliced mushrooms and 1-2 finely chopped fresh chillies (adjust to taste).
  9. Return to the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes.
  10. Stir in the cooked bacon and 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon.
  11. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh tarragon (optional).
