Preparation:
1. Mix beef with flour; turn oven on at 170C (155C on my fan oven)
2. Heat 1tbsp oil in large casserole pan
3. Fry onions gently until soft; remove from pan
4. Fry pancetta in same pan until crisp; remove from pan
5. Heat remaining oil in pan. Add meat and brown
6. Return onions and pancetta to the browned meat in casserole pan
7. Add garlic and paprika; stir well for a minute
8. Add herbs, tin tomatoes and beef stock and bring to a simmer. Season to taste
9. Cover tightly with lid and put into oven for between 1hr 30min - 2 hr. When meat is tender it is ready.
It is best to keep an eye on this. Check on it after 45min-55min to check if more stock needs to be added.
You can get 2 to 3 main family meals out of this, and other smaller portions - ideal for jacket potatoes, over a nice playe of wedges, or even stuck inside some puff pastry and cooked AKA a pastie !
