Next level BEEF HOTPOT

Try our comforting twist on the traditional one-pot meat stew to warm up those chilly evenings recipe BARNEY DESMAZERY
photograph LIAM DESBOIS

This beef hotpot takes the classic recipe to the next level with red wine marinated melt-in-the-mouth beef shin, stewed swede and carrots, and thinly sliced potatoes crisped to perfection. Where other hotpots can lack in flavour, this is based around a rich, hearty stew that would work on its own but is then adorned with an integrated side dish.

SERVES 4 PREP 30 mins plus at least 2 hrs marinating COOK 2 hrs 30 mins MORE EFFORT
