Braised Beef with Mushrooms and Caramelised Onions

This makes a change from the usual casserole with diced meat. The recipe serves four, takes about 15 - 20 minutes to prepare, and then about 2 ½ to simmer away slowly on top of the stove.



Ingredients

4 slices of beef shin – about 700g, but it depends on appetites
Plain seasoned flour for dusting
2 tbsp olive oil
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 tsp caster sugar
4 sliced garlic cloves
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
700ml beef stock
Sliced mushrooms, preferably chestnut or large flat, quantity depending on size
A few sprigs of thyme



Method







I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and carrots, but buttered cabbage would be a good alternative.
