Oh it’s that what it is? Fun fact, ground beef is meat from a shitload of animals. Unlike a steak. Which is a single cut of meat from a single animal. It’s highly recommended to leave link in the middle of steaks. But unless I personally hand ground that beef, I would never touch that with pink in it. Two decades of working in a restaurant taught me to know better. I wasn’t sure what this was at all. Kinda surprised to learn it’s food

I don't really follow a hard recipe and sometimes modify it on the fly.

But here are the key points of my quick and dirty version:

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Cut meat to desired size and toss a tiny bit of evoo, salt, pepper and a tiny amount of flour
  • Brown Meat on Med/high heat in bacon fat (I use a stainless steel sauté pan), then move meat in an even layer to the oven vessel of your choice.
  • Wash, peel (optional), chop potatoes and carrots to desired sizes and layer over meat
  • Throw a whole roughly chopped onion, a small container of mushrooms, a whole bulb of (peeled) garlic, and a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste into the vitamix (blender) with one carton of your favorite chicken stock/broth and blend the shit out of it. (You can add lots of other things to this to your own taste)
  • Use that mixture to deglaze the pan from the browning stage and bring it up to a simmer.
  • Pour that mixture over the other ingredients, cover an put in the oven.
  • Cook for about 2 hours then give it a big stir, and add more salt & pepper as needed
  • Cook for about 1 more hour, or until meat is fork tender
  • Try not to burn your mouth eating it.

Note: I don't like the the texture of cooked mushrooms and onions, that's why I blend them. Plus they make the final broth liquid amazing, but feel free to just chop that stuff up directly over your veg. The rest would stay the same.

My Filipina gf made it for me 20 years ago. She's still my gf, and we have a 13 yo daughter. I haven't let her cook since. Only thing worse was my one visit to Jollibee.

I thought it was a cruel joke.
