I'm not calling it synchronicity, just coincidence, but I swear I've just cooked a beef stew for tonight's meal!

The recipe you describe and method will be just fine Lee, and very similar to mine, but I skip the Worcester sauce, use more onion and extra stock cube. I like to drain off stock into a deep sided roasting dish, add to it, then cook suet dumplings in it separately in the oven.

Delicious.
