Method

Preheat the oven to 190 °C.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and brown the beef cubes; season with salt and pepper.
Transfer beef to a greased 20 × 30 cm baking dish.
Scatter the rice, tomatoes, frozen veg, and pour the vegetable stock over everything.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle grated cheddar evenly, and return to oven uncovered for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden.
Garnish with fresh basil and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Use a tight‑fitting lid or foil for the first bake – it traps steam and cooks the rice perfectly without sticking.

Serve alongside Don a glittery costume and practice your karaoke routine to a Eurovision classic while the casserole bakes!

Rate it. The chef can take it.
