Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F fan). Gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a large casserole pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Toss beef in flour, salt, and pepper. Brown beef for 6–8 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add chopped onion, sauté for 3–4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and tomato purée, cook for another minute.
  4. Deglaze the pan with brandy or whisky, scraping browned bits. Stir in beef stock and sliced mushrooms.
  5. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook slowly for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
