Ingredients Method

400g diced braising steak
3 beef stock cubes
1 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, sliced
2 carrots, thickly sliced
1 cinnamon stick
180g cooked beetroot, cubed
To serve
mashed potato
seasonal vegetables

Tip the beef into a large bowl then crumble over 1 of the stock cubes. Add the flour and toss together well until the meat is evenly coated.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the meat over a high heat until nicely browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onions to the hot pan and cook for 5 minutes until softened and golden.

Return the meat and any resting juices to the pan. Add the carrots, cinnamon stick and 500ml water then crumble in the remaining 2 Oxo cubes. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 2–2½ hours until the meat is very tender.

Stir in the beetroot and cook for 5 minutes or so until heated through. Serve with mash and veg.
