This hearty one-pan traybake brings together tender beef and golden roasted vegetables with minimal fuss — just toss, roast, and serve. It's the kind of fuss-free weeknight dinner that feels far more satisfying than the effort it takes to make.

Ingredients

500gbeef stew meat- cubed
200gcarrots- sliced
300gpotatoes- cubed
1wholered onion- quartered
2tbspolive oil
1tbspdried mixed herbs
3clovegarlic- crushed

0.5tspblack pepper

Method

1
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan / 400°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2
Season and toss
In a large bowl, combine the beef, carrots, potatoes, red onion, and garlic. Drizzle over the olive oil, sprinkle with the dried mixed herbs, salt, and pepper, then toss everything together until evenly coated.
3
Arrange on the tray
Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, making sure the beef pieces aren't crowded — this helps them brown rather than steam. If needed, use two trays.
4
Roast
Roast in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, turning everything halfway through, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelised at the edges. The potatoes should be golden and easily pierced with a fork.
5
Rest and serve
Remove from the oven and let the tray rest for 5 minutes before serving — this allows the juices to settle. Serve straight from the tray with crusty bread or a simple green salad.
