Before you start

Large casserole dish with lid • Large saucepan • Sieve, potato ricer or masher

Prepare and cook the base

  • Peel and dice the onions and garlic
  • Cut the carrots into chunks
  • Heat the olive oil in a large casserole dish over a medium heat
  • Add the onions, garlic, carrots and a pinch of salt
  • Mix well and cook for about 10 minutes until the carrots begin to turn soft

Prepare and cook the meat and mushrooms

  • Cut the plant-based steaks into bite-sized chunks
  • Mix the plant-based bacon lardons and plant-based steak through the vegetables and cook for 10 minutes
  • Cut the mushrooms in half and add to the pan along with the drained pearl onions
  • Mix well and cook for another 8 minutes before adding the tomato purée

Finish the Boeuf Bourguignon

  • Mix the vegetable stock pot with the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved
  • Pour the red wine and the stock into the casserole dish, add the thyme or rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, tamari and brown sugar and mix through
  • Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the temperature and simmer for 30 minutes, and preheat oven to 100*C
  • Cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes, or until ready to serve

Make the mashed potato

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces
  • Add to a large saucepan of salted boiling water over a medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely soft
  • Drain the potatoes and place into  sieve over the empty pan
  • Using the back of a spoon, push the potatoes through the sieve and collect in the pan below (alternatively, use a potato ricer or masher)
  • Scrape any potato from the base of the sieve
  • Add the butter and mix through until melted
  • Add the milk and mix through until well combined
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, adding a dash more milk if needed, until you reach your favourite consistency
