Gloriously meaty eaten with crusty bread
Most of the time is from simmering the stew slowly.
Method
Cut beef into large pieces (about 1 inch squares). Roll beef in flour and fry it with garlic until brown and a little crisp.
Take out the beef and fry whole shallots with bay leaves until a little fragrant. Add in mushrooms and beef. Add in all the other vegetables except for the peas.
Stir everything around until well-mixed.
Add in stout and then the chicken stock. You can also add the salt and pepper here.
Close the pot and let it simmer for 2 hours stirring occasionally.
Add in peas and let it simmer for another one hour on low heat.
