How to Make Beef Casserole With Scone Topping

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a 2-5 litre flameproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and brown on all sides.
  2. Remove beef from the dish and set aside.
  3. Add 1 large chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the dish. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Return the beef to the dish. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 cup red wine, and 2 cups beef stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F). Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  5. While the casserole simmers, prepare the scone topping (see below).
  6. Once the beef is tender, remove the casserole from the oven. Place scone topping rounds evenly over the hot beef mixture. Brush the scones with 1 beaten egg.
  7. Return the casserole to the oven, this time uncovered, at 200-210°C (400-410°F). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with extra chopped parsley.
  9. **Scone Topping:** Sift 2 cups all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  10. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll the dough to 2cm thickness and use a 5cm cookie cutter (or knife) to cut out rounds.
