Ingredients

1.5lbs stewing beef (blade steak, chuck, gravy etc.)

3 medium waxy potatoes

2 carrots

1 onion

1 bottle decent full red wine (I use a shiraz)

2 tsp minced garlic

2 tsp dried thyme/sage

2 tsp paprika

1 good slug tabasco*

2 tblsp flour

Oil for browning

salt n pepper for seasoning

* - optional, substitute horseradish or mustard instead if you like

Directions

Dice beef and toss in a plastic bag with the flour, herbs & spices and seasoning

Warm oil in a heavy base frypan and meanwhile...

chop vegetables

Add vegetables & garlic to pan, onions first, and sweat off over medium heat for a few minutes. Crank the heat up before you finish to get just a little caramelisation on the veg then turn into a casserole dish

Add the beef to the pan (turn the bag upside down over the pan to get everything out!), turn heat back to medium, and brown on all sides before adding to the casserole dish

Add around 1/2 - 3/4 the bottle of wine plus the tabasco to the pan to deglaze and heat it through before adding to the casserole dish. It should just cover the rest of the ingredients. Top with a little more wine if it doesn't, but you should be left with 1-2 glasses to enjoy while it cooks, which is why you must use a decent red!

Cover and cook in medium hot oven (170 celsius) for 2-2.5hours, the longer the better.

Serve with winter veg or crusty bread.
