How to cook a warming beef and ale stew

Gather your ingredients. I ended up using one onion less and only 3 potatoes in total. It will depend on how big is your pot

Roughly chop your vegs and add them to some vegetable oil with the bay leaves

Cook for about 10 minutes

Add the meat and the flour

When meat is brown add the potatoes and stir for a bit

Add the ale, the chopped tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste

Bring it to boil and cover. Let it simmer for three hours

Take off the lid the last half and hour

On a cold day, nothing beats a hearty stew
