Cooking with port is great fun. Sometimes you might even put it in the food, like with this beef casserole recipe.

Ingredients

500g stewing beef cubed
2 large onions finely sliced
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon flour
200ml port
1 liter beef stock
Pinch of thyme
Salt and pepper

Directions

Season the meat and sprinkle over the flour. In a pot or cast iron casserole, brown the meat well and remove.

Add some olive oil and cook the onions until they are soft and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and return the beef.

Add the port and allow it to simmer for a few minutes to remove some of the alcohol, then add the beef stock and the thyme, give it a good mix, cover and place in 200 Celsius oven for 2 hours. If you are using a pot and casserole dish, turn out the contents of the pot ensuring you get all of the sauce, cover and into the oven.

Remove from the oven, the sauce should be rich, thick and shiny. If it is still a little loose, pop it back in the oven uncovered for about 10 minutes.

Best served with mash.
