wintery night to make you feel warm and cosy. ..

650-750g Quality Mark Blade or Chuck Steak ;
1/4 cup seasoned flour ;
2 tblsp oil ;335ml can dark beer or Guinness ;

1 large carrot, peeled - roughly chopped ;
2 stalks celery, trimmed -chopped;
1 large parsnip, peeled - roughly chopped ;

Cut the meat into large, 3cm pieces and toss
in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil in a large, lidded
frying pan and brown the meat pieces on all sides.
(Browning will add colour and flavour to the finished
casserole.) Add the beer and simmer, uncovered,

cook at 160C for the same length of time.
