Moroccan Braised Beef

This Moroccan braised beef is a deeply aromatic take on the classic beef stew, offering a rich profile of warm spices and subtle sweetness. By slow-cooking tender chunks of beef with garam masala, cumin, and turmeric, the meat absorbs a complex depth of flavour that is beautifully balanced by the addition of golden raisins and a splash of dry sherry. It is a hearty, dairy-free dish that fills the kitchen with a wonderful fragrance as it simmers on the hob.

Perfect for a weekend dinner or a stress-free dinner party, this savoury casserole tastes even better when made a day or two in advance, allowing the spices to fully develop. Serve it alongside fluffy couscous or crusty bread to soak up the thick, glossy sauce. This recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a comforting, high-protein meal that feels both sophisticated and wholesome.
