https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3328/spicy-beef-stew-with-beans-and-peppers

3½ Tbsps vegetable oil

2 lbs stewing beef cut into chunks

1 onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbsp flour

1 Tbsp black treacle

1 tsp cumin

400g can diced tomato

2 1/2 cups beef stock

2 red peppers, seeds removed and sliced

1lb reconstituted or 1/2 lb dry cannellini beans

Sour cream and fresh coriander, to serve

1. In a large saucepan with a lid, brown the meat, adding 1 Tbsp of oil at-a-time, browning in batches to avoid crowding. Season meat, then cook about one-third over a high heat for 10 mins until browned. Tip onto a plate and repeat with 2 tbsp of oil and rest of the meat.

Add a splash of water and scrape pan to remove bits. Add ½ tbsp oil. Turn heat down, fry onion and garlic until softened. Return meat to the pan, add flour and stir for 1 min. Add treacle, cumin, tomatoes and stock. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hr 45 mins. Stir occasionally and check that the meat is covered with liquid.

Add peppers and beans, and cook for a further 15 mins. The stew can now be cooled and kept in the fridge for 2 days, or frozen for 1 month. Serve in bowls, with sour cream, coriander and cornbread.
