Beef & Stout Casserole

1½ lbs Beef

6 oz Lean bacon, cubed

1 lb Shallots or small onions

3 Cloves garlic

1 Bouquet garni

1 tbsp Sugar

Salt & pepper

Basil & parsley

1 tbsp Butter

2 tbsp Flour

1 tbsp Wine or cider vinegar

1 Bottle of stout

Saute the beef and bacon in a little oil. Drain off the excess liquid. Remove the meat and set aside. Add the butter to the pan, and melt. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Gradually stir in the stout. Place the meat and the small onions (peeled) in a deep casserole dish, and season with the salt, pepper and herbs. Crush the garlic and add to the ingredients. Sprinkle the sugar on top, and pour in the sauce. Cover and place in the oven. Cook very gently for up to 3 hours at 300°F. Check occasionally. If the casserole seems to be drying a little, you can add more stout. Remove from the oven and mix in the vinegar. Serve with lots of boiled potatoes to sop up the sauce.

Makes approximately 4 servings.
