Beef Stew

Sunday 5 January
The cubed beef we bought at the Co-op yesterday not only declared its country of origin, but its breed (Hereford).  
We browned it in oil; added an onion, bashed rather than diced with a dull knife, and minced garlic to brown too; then some cheap red wine and a bit of water to cover, while adding two chopped carrots and 6 or 7 baby potatoes. 
It cooked for 3 hours; we had to remove the vedge halfway along to keep them from breaking up and disappearing entirely.  But it filled the cold flat, and eventually us, with savor.
