Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F fan).
- Coat the braising beef with flour, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof casserole over high heat for about 3 minutes. Brown the beef in batches for 6-8 minutes each side until golden brown.
- Lower heat to medium, sauté chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and tomato purée, cook for an additional minute.
- Deglaze with brandy and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits. Add beef stock and chestnut mushrooms, bring to a gentle boil.
- Cover the casserole and cook in the oven for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- If desired, mix cornflour with water and stir it into the casserole, bringing to a simmer until thickened.
- Stir in the double cream, garnish with parsley and black pepper, and serve hot.
