Story

Grass Fed Diced Scottish Beef & a lovely Guinness Stout, carefully prepared and slowly cooked for a stew to remember.

Instructions

Brown the diced beef well, this is key to flavour.

Sauté – onion, garlic, carrots and celery, Rosemary leaves & Thyme, all chopped/diced plus Tomato paste.

Add liquids – beer, broth and herbs;

Simmer covered for 2 hours until the beef is pretty tender, then simmer for a further 30 minutes uncovered to let the sauce reduce a bit and for the beef to become “fall apart tender”.
