The Basics

• Dish: Main Course
• cuisine: English
• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 0hrs 25 mins
• Cooking Time: 3hrs 0 mins

Ingredients

• 2 Large onions diced
• A few sprigs Thyme
• 1 Garlic clove crushed
•  Olive oil
• 1 kg Braising steak cut into chunks
• 6 tbsp Plain flour seasoned
• 500ml Guinness
• 250ml Beef stock
•  Parsley chopped

Method

Cook the onions, thyme and garlic with a little olive oil in a large casserole until the onion is softened and translucent. Dust the braising steak in the seasoned flour and brown in a hot pan with a little oil.
When the beef has a good, even colour, add it to the pan with the onions and pour in the Guinness. Top up with the stock to just cover the beef.
Cover and simmer over a very low heat or transfer to a 150C/fan 130C/gas 3 oven for 2-3 hours until the beef is meltingly tender (check after 2 hours). Season to taste and add some chopped parsley.
