The slow roasting process allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a dish that’s both satisfying and full of depth.

This beef and veggie bake pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread to soak up the savory juices. A light green salad with a tangy vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the bake.
