Portnellan steak and ale
Braising steak is very tender with little to trim off and cooks best by gentle braising. This is a lovely recipe for a cold evening.

●  Cut the steak into chunks

●  Brown it gently in a casserole with olive oil

●  Remove steak to a side plate - keep warm

●  Brown some onions and mushrooms

●  Return the steak to the pan with the onion

●  Add some Newcastle Brown Ale

●  Thicken with a little cornflour

●  Salt and pepper to taste

●  Cover and cook very gently in the oven (170˚C, 325˚F or
    Gas Mark 3)  for about 1 hour
