Οδηγίες

BROWN BEEF: Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°C / Gas 4. Put the flour in a bowl or ziplock bag, season well with salt and pepper, then toss the meat in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil over high heat in a flameproof casserole dish or wide Dutch oven and brown the meat all over, working in batches. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

COMBINE INGREDIENTS: Over medium heat, cook the onions or shallots in the same dish until golden. Add garlic, red wine, tomatoes, vinegar, Worcester sauce, herbs and spices, stock cubes, apricots and prunes. Bring to the boil, stirring often, then return the meat to the dish with any resting juices.

BRAISE: Transfer to the preheated oven and cook, tightly covered, for 2-3 hours until you have really tender chunks of beef- add water if necessary part way through cooking if the sauce is reducing too quickly.

SERVE: Serve with garlicky broad beans, honey-roasted carrots, baked jacket potatoes, or fresh, crusty bread.
