Dundee Beef Stew

No hope for any more barbecues in this weather, so I've turned to the casserole dish for this Scottish dish, made with Marmelade, and named after the town famous for this ingredient, Dundee.

  • Chop the beef into 2.5cm cubes. Sprinkle with flour, salt, pepper, paprika and mix.

  • Brown the onions in the oil, then add the beef.

This sounds so good, but I think I would put in a little more marmelade...2 or 3 tablespoons?
