Beef and Cider Casserole

Need a one pot meal that cooks itself and tastes fabulous. The meat cooks slowly giving it flavour and making it tender. Give this one a try.

1T butter
1 red onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
300ml cider
350ml good quality beef stock
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
2T mustard
500g sliverside beef
 large carrots peeled

Preheat the oven to 160C.
Fry the onion and garlic in the butter in a large casserole dish. Add the cider, mustard and stock. Add the herbs and beef. Add the vegetables.
Place a tight  fitting lid on and cook for 90 minutes until tender.
Serve with mashed potato and peas. Use the pan juices on top of the meat and mash.
