Ingredients

50g/2oz plain flour

1kg/2lb topside of beef, cut into 2.5cm/1 inch cubes

2 tablespoons oil

1 large onion, sliced

2 large carrots, thickly sliced

300ml or 0.5pint of Guiness

750ml or 1.25pint of water

1 bay leaf

125g/4oz pitted prunes, soaked in water

salt and pepper

2 tablespoons finely chopped parsely, to garnish

Directions

Season the flour with salt and pepper and toss the cubed meat in the flour. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or casserole dish. Add the beef cubes and fry until browned all over. Add the onion and cook for a few mintues, then stir in any remaining flour.

Add the carrot, Guiness and water, stirring well to combine. Bring to the boil, add the bay leaf, cover and simmer gently for 1.5-2 hours until meat is tender. Alternatively cook in a pre-heated oven, 160C (325F), Gas mark 3, for same length of time. Half an hour before the end of cooking time, add the prunes.

Remove the bay leaf, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, sprinkle with parsley and serve with potatoes.

I always serve this dish with either mash or goose-fat roasted potatoes or fill large yorkshire puddings with the stew.
