A great St Patrick's Day treat

Beef in Guinness and Shallots

You will need

10 – Shallots (peeled)
850 Gm Silverside Beef
1 – Red Onion (chopped)
4 – Large Carrots (cut in half long ways) 

300 Ml – Guinness

100 Ml - Water
1 teaspoon – Dried Thyme
2 – Beef Stock Cubes
1 desert spoon - Corn Flour (mixed with a little water into a paste)

Parboil the carrots 10 minutes

Put a little olive oil in an oven proof dish and put on the hob on a medium heat.

Seal the beef then add the shallots,red onion and thyme then cook for 10 minutes with the beef.

Add the carrots, Guinness, and water then cover and put in 160°c oven for 1 ½  hours.

Take out the beef to rest and remove the carrots and shallots to a separate bowl

Put the dish on the hob on a medium heat and add the beef stock cubes and corn flour mix and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes; you need to do this to cook out the Guinness a little more to get rid of any bitterness.

Put back the carrots and shallots for the last 5 minutes.

Serve with sweet potatoes and vegetables
