Notes
- For melt in your mouth beef in the winter months, use a meat tenderizer for tender beef and bash the meat to break down any tough tissue, and increase the cooking time
- For best results, brown the meat in a pan first, then deglaze it with the beef stock to get every bit of flavour you can
- This great recipe serves 2 large servings, but for more people, double up all of the ingredients, but only add an extra cup of beef broth
