Directions: |
Directions:Melt the butter in a large pan and fry the meat in it until browned on all sides. Do not crowd the pan; brown the meat in two or three batches if necessary. Remove the meat from the pan, add the onion and carrots and cook until slightly softened.
Return the meat to the pan, add the flour, if using, then stir in the stock, tomato puree and sugar. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the potatoes if using, the Guinness or the wine, the bouquet garni and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over a low heat for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. While the stew is simmering, add 4 or 5 drops of Tabasco to taste. |
