Stew ( easy n not messy)

Stew

Always marinate the meat ( I prefer overnight.)
Dust the meat and vegetables with enough flour (the flour will thicken the sauce. Heat a roasting tray add oil on base of the tray. Put the meat and vegetables in the oven to brown the meat. When the meat is brown add hot stock to cover the meat and vegetables, add herbs and enough salt stir the meat and into the oven until the meat is tender. If you love fine dinning remove the meat and vegetables and pass the sauce through a sieve. Garnish the stew with red and green vegetables.
