Finely chop the onion and slice the celery.

Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the beef in batches, then set aside.

Add the onion to the pan and cook for 6 minutes, then return the beef with the beef stock. Season well, cover and simmer gently for 65 minutes until the beef is almost tender.

Stir in the celery and cook, covered, for a further 12 minutes until the celery is tender.
