- 1 onion
- 2 oz smoked bacon (streaky) approx 2 slices
- 1 lb stewing beef 450g
- 3 carrots medium
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 12 oz stout 350ml
- 2 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 320F/160C.
- Dice the onion and slice the bacon.
- Warm a dish suitable for the oven over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook a couple minutes until the fat starts to render. Then add the onion and cook around 5min until soft but not browning. Add a little oil if needed if the onions seem to be browning.
- Dice the beef, if not already cut, into bite-sized pieces. Add to the pot and brown on all sides. Increase the heat if needed to brown properly without too much juice being released.
- While its browning, slice the carrots then add to the pan, cook for a minute then add the thyme, stout and sugar. Mix well then transfer tot he oven to cook for approx 2 hours.
- Works well served with mashed potatoes, but you could also try other mashed roots or rice.
