Instructions

Heat of the oil in a pan, add the beef and onions and leave to cook for about 5 minutes until the beef is no longer pink.
Add the chopped garlic and carrots (cut into chunky sticks), and 3 cups of beef stock and leave to cook with the lid on on a low to medium heat until the stock is nearly evaporated.
Add the peeled cherry tomatoes, then add more beef stock as needed until the beef is tender, mine took about one and a half hour to cook, and I used about 6 cups of broth.
Season well with salt, pepper, thyme and half of the parsley, then remove from the heat, transfer to an oven-proof dish and set aside.
The casserole should not have too much liquid left, maybe only about half a cup or so.
Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the gnocchi, and leave to cook for about 5 minutes.
Drain the water, and add the gnocchi over the beef casserole, then sprinkle with the grated cheese.
Bake in the pre-heated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted. Garnish with more chopped parsley.
Serve hot!
