Answers:
Start with some stew beef or
buy steak or roast (sirloin or any other cut you want) and cut into the size pieces you want!.

In a pan or pot, add a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil!. Heat to med-high!. When pan starts to smoke, add your beef!. Do not overcrowd the pan!. Salt & pepper your meat!.
As it browns, turn to brown all over!. Do not turn too soon!.

You'll want to use a pot for stew, I usually brown the meat in the same pot that I'll be using for the stew!.
When you've finished browning, add a bit of water to your browning pan and scrape all of the stuck on bits!. Return browned meat to pot!.
Add a diced onion and a stick of celery!.
Add enough water so that the meat has 1-2 inches of water above it!.
Bring to the boil, reduce to low and simmer for a couple of hours, or whenever you think the meat is tender enough to eat!.

next add your vegetables!. I use carrot, turnip and potatoes!.
you can cut them to whatever size you want!. I dice them!.
Put your carrot and turnip on 5 mins or so ahead of your potatoes!. It will take about 15 mins, maybe less!. Check for desired doneness!.

When the vegetables,it's just about cooked, you'll have to thicken
it and add a bit of browning!.

Add your browning

Mix a couple of spoonfuls of flourr in a cup of water!.

with the pot bubbling, add your flour mixture while constantly stirring!.
if you stop stirring you will have lumps!. You need to keep it at this temp for a minute or so!.!.!.!.!.flour needs to cook!.

When it's all mixed in, you can turn your pot to low!.

BEEF CASSEROLE

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

375g of beef
? an onion
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
1 beef stock cube
125ml of water
125ml of beer or wine
1 teaspoon of parsley
Ground pepper to taste
200g (? a 400g tin) of plum tomatoes*
2 carrots
2 potatoes

METHOD

Chop the beef into 2 cm (1 inch) pieces!. Peel the onion, cut it in half, chop one half into tiny pieces and save the other half!.

Put the oil in a frying pan on a moderate heat!. Fry the beef, and onion for about 5 minutes until the meat is brown with no pink bits!. Stir frequently to stop it sticking!.

Put into a large ovenproof dish with a lid!.

Dissolve the stock cube in the water!. Add the beer or wine, parsley and stock!. Season with the pepper!. Put the lid on the dish!.

Cook in a preheated oven at 150°C, 300°F, gas mark 2 for about 2 hours!. Check the liquid level from time to time and top it up if it starts to dry out!.

Open the tin of tomatoes!. Put the juice into a bowl!. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the bowl)!. Put the chopped tomatoes into the bowl!. Use half and save the other half!.

Peel the carrots and cut them into slices!. Peel the potatoes and chop them into 2 cm (1 inch) pieces!.

After 90 minutes, add the carrot, potatoes and tomatoes!. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes!.

ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS

Use mixed herbs instead of the parsley!.

Substitute 125g of mushrooms for 125g of the beef!. Wipe the mushrooms clean!. Cut the ends off the stalks and chop them into halves or quarters depending on their size!. Add them at the same time as the other vegetables!.

Serve with a green vegetable, or add 100g of peas 15 minutes before the end of cooking!.

TIPS

Any cheap beer or wine will do!. The long, slow cooking in the alcohol will tenderise even the cheapest meat!.

* Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped!. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
