Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F fan).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Deglaze with brandy and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits. Add beef stock and chestnut mushrooms, bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Cover the casserole and cook in the oven for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  6. If desired, mix cornflour with water and stir it into the casserole, bringing to a simmer until thickened.
  7. Stir in the double cream, garnish with parsley and black pepper, and serve hot.
