Description
I found this recipe a few years ago now, and I have to say its really good. Much better than what I have tasted from restaurants plus its so simple to make in your own home.

1)Trim the steak of fat and sinew and cut into 2cm cubes. Lightly toss in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off the excess.
2)Cut the bacon into 2cm squares. Heat some oil in a large pan and quickly cook the bacon over medium heat. Remove the bacon from the pan, then add the meat and brown well in batches. Remove the meat and set aside. Add the whole peeled onions to the pan and cook until golden.
3)Return the bacon and meat to the pan with the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1.5 hours, or until the meat is very tender, stirring now and then. ( I personally transfer the covered dish to the oven on 180 degrees c for 2 hours instead of simmering on a stove)
4)Remove the bay leaves to serve. Mashed potato and steamed green beans or carrots are a nice accompliment.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I have frozen this before and that works fine too.
