Heat the oil in a non-stick pan & add stewing steak.
Brown on all sides keeping the heat high
once browned, set aside on a plate & add onions (chopped), crushed garlic, diced carrot & celery to the pan.
Cover & cook over a gentle heat for 10 minutes.
sprinkle over the flour & stir in well
Add meat, tomato puree, worcestershire sauce, stock & herbs & simmer on low heat for 30 minutes

This would also be nice if you replace the pasta with mashed potatoes

Stewing steak. Because you put the lid on it steams it at the same time. It was melt in the mouth.

I got it from the butchers counter at Tesco.
