How to Make Beef Crumble

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 8 oz mushrooms (sliced), and 1 medium carrot (chopped) to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Make the roux: Stir in 3/4 cup wholemeal flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add liquids: Gradually whisk in 2 cups beef stock, 1/2 cup beef gravy, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
  5. Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Prepare the topping: While the beef simmers, prepare the topping. In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup wholemeal flour, 1/3 cup rolled oats, 1 oz (2 tbsp) cold butter, 1/3 cup grated cheese, 1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Crumble the butter: Cut the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  8. Assemble and bake: Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the beef.
  9. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
