Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in large lidded casserole dish, brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Add the onion and carrots to the dish, give them a good browning, then scatter over the flour and stir. Tip the meat and any juices back into the dish and give it all a good stir. Pour over the Guinness and crumble in the stock cube. Season the stew with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Tuck in the herbs and bring everything to a simmer.
• Cover with a lid and place in the oven for about 2½ hrs until the meat is really tender. The stew can now be chilled and frozen for up to 3 months - defrost completely before reheating until piping hot. Leave the stew to settle a little, then serve with Creamy parsnip mash for a true celebration of winter vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery and sauté for about 4 minutes; remove and set aside. Place beef cubes in pot, increase heat to medium high, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to brown evenly. Return aromatic vegetables to pot, add beef stock, red wine, bay leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring stew to a boil, then reduce heat and cook 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove cover and sift in flour (I use a wire strainer) and stir to thicken liquid. Add carrots and cook an additional 20 minutes. If making dumplings they would be added at this time.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Cook the meat: Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the canola oil. Season the pieces of beef on all sides with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the beef in a single layer in the hot oil, making sure not to crowd the pan (you might need to cook the beef in batches). Brown the meat on all sides. When brown, add onions and steam over the beef, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and cook until all of the liquid evaporates, 10 to 15 minutes. Add stock and mustard and continue to simmer about 8 to 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, add parsnips and enough water just to cover. Add 2 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and bay leaves and simmer until parsnips are slightly tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, discard bay leaves, and set parsnips aside. In the same pan, add carrots and enough water just to cover. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil. Simmer until slightly tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook and finish the stew: Add the parsnips and carrots to the beef. Cover and place in the center of the oven. Cook until the meat is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove the stew from the oven and use a large spoon to skim any excess fat or impurities that form on the surface. Taste for seasoning. Allow it to "rest" for 15 minutes before serving. Stir in the peas, parsley and chives.
