Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef (stew meat or chuck, cubed)
• 600 grams Potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 300 grams Carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 200 grams Parsnips (peeled and sliced)
• 1 large Yellow onion (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 500 milliliters Beef stock
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Thyme (dried)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 2

Add the cubed beef to the pot and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

Using the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to the pot, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes to coat them in the butter and beef juices.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef stock. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Check the broth level periodically. If it becomes too dry, add a splash more beef stock or water.

Step 8

Taste the hash and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright and fresh finish.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or flatbread on the side, if desired.
