Beef cobbler is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for cold winter nights or any time you’re craving a satisfying meal. This article will guide you through the steps to create a delicious beef cobbler that will impress your family and friends.

To make a beef cobbler, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500g beef stewing steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• 400ml beef stock
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 200g self-raising flour
• 100g cold butter, cubed
• 100g cheddar cheese, grated
• 150ml milk

1.

2. In the same dish, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.

3. Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Return the beef to the dish and bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. While the beef is cooking, prepare the cobbler topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, cold butter, and grated cheddar cheese. Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms.

5. Once the beef is tender, remove the casserole dish from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough onto the surface of the beef mixture. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden and cooked through.
