2 questions, do you mix the meat into the vegetables whilst the vegetables are still on the fire or only once they are off?
also do you put in into the oven covered or uncovered?

You’ll want to add the meat to the veggies, after the veggies are off the fire, so the meat doesn’t overcook, as this recipe calls to bake it as well.

I’d suggest baking this dish covered for 30 minutes and then uncover it for the last 30 minutes of baking.
