Method

  1. Dust the meat in the flour, shaking off any excess. Heat the oil in a large casserole pan and brown the meat in batches over a high heat. Remove with a slotted spoon
  2. Reduce the heat and add the onion and celery to the pan and soften before returning the beef to the pan. Add the port and cook uncovered on a high heat for a few minutes. Add the ketchup and some salt and pepper.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for a couple of hours on a very low heat - add the mushrooms half an hour before the end if using. It is mandatory to serve with mash.

    Complete success. Very rich and full flavoured and the beef was tender. Easy as well. Definitely making it again!

    What a lovely recipe, the celery turned out very sweet and the beef almost fell apart, will make it again in the not to distant future!

    By adding some Shitake mushrooms prior the the long stint in the oven, this is a cracking Autumnal dish and so easy! Use M&S port, it's cheap and ensures a really tasty dish.
