Chop the meat, chop the onion, peel and chop the potatoes and beetroot.
Add oil to the pan and brown the onion. Then add the meat to the pan as well. Brown nicely.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients - including the shredded cheese and the meat from the pan.
Give it a good stir and put the whole thing into a clay pot with a lid.
Pour the meat stock over the top. Bake the beetroot stew in a 210C oven, first for three quarters of an hour with the lid on and then for half an hour without the lid so that the beetroot stew gratinates nicely on the surface.
Top with more blue cheese and place the beetroot stew on the table to rest for 15 minutes before eating.
