Ingredients
2 red onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
400g lean diced beef
2 celery sticks, chopped

500ml beer or stout
500ml beef stock
1 tbsp low-fat gravy granules
250g small button mushrooms
1 tbsp mixed herbs (parsley, thyme, chives)

Method
- Dry-fry the onions and garlic in a preheated non-stick pan until they start to brown. Add the beef, season with black pepper and continue cooking to seal the meat.
- Add the celery, tomatoes and beer or stout and bring to the boil. Stir in the beef stock and gravy granules, add the mushrooms and herbs, then cover and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- When the meat is tender, adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more gravy granules or water and serve straight away.
