1. Cook the onions, thyme and garlic with a little olive oil in a large casserole until the onion is softened and translucent. Dust the braising steak in the seasoned flour and brown in a hot pan with a little oil.
2. When the beef has a good, even colour, add it to the pan with the onions and pour in the Guinness. Top up with the stock to just cover the beef.
3. Cover and simmer over a very low heat or transfer to a 150C/fan 130C/gas 3 oven for 2-3 hours until the beef is meltingly tender (check after 2 hours). Season to taste and add some chopped parsley. The Marquess serves this with colcannon.

  This is an incredible dish! It filled the kitchen with gorgeous aromas. I did not put it in the oven and it turned out just fine in the pot. The horseradish mash added to the texture. Absolutely incredible!

  absolutely fantastic !! I added some carrots and potatoes and it was just the thing for a rainy night. Beef was so tender you could shred it with a plastic fork.

  I found the meat to be quite tough. I cooked it for the recommend time but it needed a lot more and I wasn't overly impressed unfortunatly. The sauce was delicious however, but the meat was a bit chewy. I wouldn't do this receipe again.

  cooked this for 3.5 hours and still the steak was tough... i'm sure my mother used to cook braising steak for half the day! flavours nice and good thick sauce but given all the recipes out there, certainly wouldn't do this one again

  This is a wonderful stew and even better the next day so perfect for entertaining as you can have it ready the day before. I added a teaspoon of brown sugar to take away the slight bitterness of the Guinness.

  I've cooked this twice now - it's a roaring success! Great for dinner parties as you can make it the day before and just reheat and serve. I made 2 changes to the ingredients, I replaced the Guinness with Red Wine (Claret) and the onions with a dozen medium sized shallots (which generally I prefer to onion). This is quite a rich dish so I serve with steamed new potatoes and carrots or green beans.
