Method

  1. 1

    Season the beef. Heat a little oil in a large pot and brown the beef in batches for 6-8 minutes, then lift out.

  2. 2

    Add the onions, carrots, parsnips and garlic cloves to the pot and cook for 6-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the plain flour and tomato puree and cook for 1 minute, then return the beef and pour in the beef stock. Add the dried thyme and bay leaves.

  4. 4

    Cover and simmer gently for 65-70 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and cooked through with no pink remaining.

  5. 5

    Remove the bay leaves before serving.
