Versatile and cozy stew, perfect for family dinners. Swap meats and liquids for endless variations like chicken with white wine or lamb with red wine. Set it and forget it in the oven for an easy and delicious meal.
Ingredients:
  • olive oil
  • 3 sticks of celery
  • 3 carrots
  • 3 onions
  • ½ a bunch of fresh rosemary (15g) or 3 bay leaves
  • 1 heaped tablespoon plain flour
  • 500 ml ale Guinness or stout
  • 1 x 400 g tin of plum tomatoes
  • 750 g quality diced stewing beef
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large shallow ovenproof casserole pan over medium heat. Trim the celery, wash the carrots, peel the onions, and roughly chop them to the size of the beef chunks. Add the vegetables to the pan. Season with sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 10 minutes until softened and caramelized, stirring occasionally. Add rosemary leaves, stir in flour for 2 minutes, then add the booze. Add and break up the tomatoes. Swirl water in the tomato tin and pour into the pan. Bring to a boil, then add meat, season, and cover. Simmer on the hob or bake in the oven for 2 hours until meat is tender. Adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve with rice or mashed potato and vegetables.
