TIP! Soup can be made up to three days ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Gremolata is best made close to serving. Brushed potatoes can be replaced with Red Delight or Desiree potatoes. 

Ingredients

1.2kg beef chuck steak, trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces

¼ cup olive oil

2 medium onions, finely chopped

2 carrots (140g each), peeled, cut into 1cm pieces

2 cloves garlic, crushed

63g sachet Continental Beef Stew Recipe Base

1 ½ litres (6 cups) beef stock

400g can diced tomatoes

1kg brushed potatoes, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces

Toasted bread, to serve

GREMOLATA

½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind

Method

  1. Toss beef with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. 

  2. Heat an oiled stockpot over a high heat. Add beef in three batches. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove. 

  3. Heat remaining oil in same stockpot over a medium heat. Add onions, carrots and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. 

  4. Meanwhile, dissolve recipe base in 1 litre (4 cups) boiling water in a heatproof jug.

  5. Pour into stockpot with beef stock and tomatoes. Return beef. Stir to combine. Bring to boil. Cover with lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. 

  6. Add potatoes. Return to boil. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally for a further 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until beef is tender. Remove from heat. (Makes 16 cups.)

  7. To make gremolata, combine parsley and rind in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. 

  8. Divide soups among bowls. Sprinkle with gremolata. Serve with toasted bread.
