  • 40.00 ml plain flour

Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in 4 batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
  • Sauté the shallots until light golden, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Follow by sautéing the mushrooms until light golden, about 2 minutes, then transfer to the plate.
  • In a pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add the bacon and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Mix in stout, stock, thyme, tomato paste, sugar, and beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Sauté shallots until fragrant. Simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Add mushrooms. Simmer for 30 minutes until beef is tender and sauce thickens. Mix flour and water in a bowl; gradually stir into beef. Simmer for 3 minutes to thicken sauce.
