Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 600 g braising beef, chopped into chunks
  • 2 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 330 ml robust stout
  • 360 ml beef stock
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small courgette (zucchini), chopped into chunks
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • Freshly chopped parsley
  • 1/4 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Cooked couscous (Ainsley Harriott’s Spice Sensation recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160C/325F.
  2. Heat the olive oil on medium-high heat in a Dutch oven.
  3. Toss the beef chunks with flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Add the beef to the pan, ensure it’s not overcrowded, and brown on all sides for about 6 to 8 minutes.
  5. Introduce the minced garlic to the pot and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Pour in the stout and beef stock, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  7. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven to braise for 3 hours.
  8. Stir in the chopped red and green pepper and courgette, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until tender.
  9. Finish by sprinkling with grated parmesan, fresh parsley, and thinly sliced red onion before serving.

Notes

Sear the beef properly for best flavor and avoid rushing the cooking process to maintain tenderness.
