Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the onions and cook for 2 mins, then add the carrot and celery and cook until softened. Add a little water if the mixture sticks.
- Add the braising steak and cook until browned, then stir in the garlic and cinnamon and cook for a further 1 - 2 mins until the aromas are released.
- Add the stock cube to 500ml boiling water and stir into the meat, along with the tomato purée and parsley stalks. Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 1 hour, then take off the lid and simmer for another hour or until the meat is very tender. Stir in the chopped parsley leaves.
- Transfer the stew into a medium-sized ceramic dish (that would be big enough for four adults), or into 6 - 8 large ramekins for make-ahead toddler portions.
- Meanwhile, steam or boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Drain the potatoes well and mash with the butter. Spoon on top of the meat, sprinkle with the cheese and cook on the top shelf for around 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time. Defrost thoroughly before cooking - you can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight if you like. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6 and cook for around 30 - 35 mins or until golden, bubbling and hot throughout.

SWEET POTATO AND MOLASSES BEEF STEW
Steps:
- Place the flour and spices in a large Ziploc bag and mix together. Add the meat and shake to coat thoroughly. Using 1.5 T oil added bit by bit, heat a large skillet. Add a third of the coated meat and brown on all sides. Place the browned meat in a stock pot and then repeat the process with the rest of the meat adding the remaining oil to the pan as needed. You are just searing the meat you are not trying to cook it all the way through... it is okay if parts are still uncooked! Add the beef broth to cover the meat. Stir in the molasses and add the bay leaves. Heat the mixture up to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer this for 1 hour. After the stew has simmered for 1 hour, add the sweet potato, carrots and celery. Return the stew to a steady simmer, cover, and cook for about 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and season the stew to taste with additional salt and pepper. Makes 4 good sized portions at 358 calories a serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices for beef stew.
- Brown the beef well before stewing: This will help develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic stew vegetables, but you can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can usehomemade beef broth or a store-bought broth.
- Season the stew well: Salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme are all classic stew seasonings, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
- Cook the stew low and slow: Stewing is a slow-cooking process, so be patient and let the stew simmer for at least an hour, or until the beef is tender.
- Serve the stew with a side of bread, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato and molasses beef stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are soft and sweet, and the molasses adds a rich and complex flavor to the stew. This stew is also very easy to make, and it can be made in a slow cooker, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
