SHIN OF BEEF IN GOLD ALE

Preheat the oven to 160° C/325° F/Gas 3.

Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish.

When it is hot, add the beef. Brown on all sides and then add the ale and enough stock to reach three-quarters of the way up the sides of the casserole dish.

Bring to the boil and then add the shallots, celery, parsnips and carrots together with the bay lead, rosemary hyme and marjoram.
