| 1. Dice meat into 1 inch cubes, trimming off any excess fat. | 2. In a heavy saucepan (I use a cast-iron pan), heat olive oil and fry half the onion until soft and starting to colour, 3-4 minutes. | 3. Add beef and seal on all sides, until no red is visible. | 4. Add the rest of the onion and the carrot, and continue frying for another 5 mins, until all the onion has softened. | 5. Add the boiling water -- there should be enough to cover the meat to a depth of 1-2 cm. | 6. Add potato, celery, tomato paste, Vegemite or stock cube, bay leaf and pepper (don't add salt until the end, as the sauce reduces). | 7. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, on very low heat for 1.5 - 2 hours (alternatively, use a crockpot). | 8. Add mushrooms, and simmer for another 30-45 minutes. | 9. If the sauce is not quite thick enough for your taste, break up some of the potato pieces with a fork, and continue to simmer uncovered, until the sauce has reduced to the desired consistency (10-15 mins is usually plenty). | 10. Check for seasoning, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
