| Ingredients
- 1.5kg stewing steak
- 3 cloves of garlic, skinned and crushed
- 8 small or pickling onions, skinned and left whole
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 8 small whole potatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- Good pinch of dried thyme
- Half a cup of red wine
- 2 tablespoons of brandy – not essential but good!
- ⅔rds cup of beef stock (the powder will suffice mixed with water)
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Brown the meat over a shovel full of coals taken from the fire and placed in a shallow hole (not as hot as over the fire for the cook!) or over gas
- Add first four ingredients plus garlic and stir a minute or so longer
- Add all the other ingredients
- Stir through the liquid
- Place the camp oven in a position where the meal will cook slowly (a gentle bubble) – either over a low flame or over a small shovel of coals in a hole with a small amount of coal on the lid
- Be prepared to add a few more if the coals cool too much
- Take a glass of your favourite beverage, find a comfortable spot and relax for about an hour and a half while your dinner cooks
- Serve with your favourite bread or damper
