directions
- Trim meat of fat or gristle and cut into cubes of about one inch and toss in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Season the flour with salt, freshly ground pepper and a pinch or two of cayenne. Toss the meat in the mixture.
- Mix tomato puree and 4 tablespoons of water together until smooth.
- Heat the remaining oil in a wide frying pan over a high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Add the onions, crushed garlic, and tomato puree to the pan. Cover and cook gently for around 5 minutes.
- Transfer the contents of the pan to a casserole, and pour some of the beer into the frying pan. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the caramelised meat juices on the pan.
- Pour onto the meat with the remaining beer; add the carrots and the potatoes. Stir, taste, and add more salt if needed.
- Put the lid on and simmer gently under the meat is tender. This will take 2-3 hours. It can be cooked on the stove top or in the oven at 150°C (300°F). Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve with potatoes or rice or by itself.

I'm Hannah, I'm learning to cook, and trying out new ingredients in the process... I do need a bit of a push every now and then though because whilst I enjoy it, I can fall back on takeaways *gasp*
