One Pot Oven Baked Beef - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup plain flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (or more if you wish)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (freshly ground)
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs thyme (fresh)
1 kg lean beef (cubed)
3 garlic cloves (large, minced or 3 teaspoons of jarred garlic)
1 carrot (medium sliced)
1 onion (large fine sliced but I do chunky)
6 new potatoes (small halved optional)
2 celery ribs (sliced optional)
1 cup red wine
1 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons parsley (fresh finely chopped)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180C fan forced (200C normal).
Whisk the soy, worcestershire, flour, seasonings, bay leaves and thyme sprigs in a casserole dish (or heavy bottomed pot that can go into the oven).
Briefly cook over a medium heat until the flour has dissolved.
Add the cubed beef, garlic, carrot, (potatoes and celery if using), onion, red wine and beef stock.
Stir with a wooden spoon, cover and cook in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours until the beef is tender, stirring a couple of time.
Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust if required.
If not using the potatoes serve with mashed potatoe or rice.
