Keep the cold out with this delicious stew

It's called 'hearty' for a reason. Packed with powerful flavours of orange and cinnamon to bring out the beautiful taste of the slow-cooked beef, we can't go past this one-pot wonder. Ease of cooking is at the core of this dish as the oven or slow cooker does all the hard work. Serve on top of rice, pasta or mashed potato with a side of seasonal greens.

Cooking tips: This stew is delicious the next day after the flavours have developed further and is also great for freezing.
