Beef and horseradish stew - with meat free and budget alternatives

Ingredients
500g braising beef
3 tablespoons of sunflower oil
Horseradish sauce (1 - 3 tablespoons, depending on taste)
Flour 
Vegetables, sliced and chopped into wedges
  • 1 onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into big chunks
 250ml Beef stock (can be substituted with lamb stock)
Crusty bread to serve

Instructions
Dust the beef with flour until it is all coated
Heat the oil an ovenproof casserole dish over a medium heat
Brown the beef in the dish
Add the vegetables
Give it all a good stir
Stir in the amount of horseradish you choose into the beef stock and pour over meat and veg
Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for about ten minutes
Put into the oven for 45 minutes, still covered

Meat-free alternative
Horseradish goes very well with lentils as well - replace the beef with puy lentils (or other type, I'm not that fussy) and the use vegetable stock

Budget alternative
Substitute half the beef with lentils
