Braised steak dinner

Here's a comforting dish, rich and tasty with tender beef, creamy mash and peppery turnip. (Actually swede, but it's turnip where I come from!)

I use braising steak for this dish, trimmed of fat, lightly browned and placed in a casserole with lightly fried onions and mushrooms.  Add stock, I use one or two oxo cubes, but you can use whatever stock you prefer, season and add herbs if you fancy them eg thyme.

Cover and cook for about 1-1½ hours at about 180ºC Gas 4, until the meat is tender.  You can also do this in a slow cooker, just leave it on low, while you slave away at work!

Once it's cooked, I like to thicken the gravy, use gravy granules or cornflour to do this.

Enjoy.
