Stovies

1. Cut the beef into cubes and sear it in hot oil.

2. Add the thickly sliced onions and soften until translucent.

3. Cut the potatoes into thick slices and layer them over the meat.

4. Pour in stock until almost covered.

5. Cover and simmer over low heat for 45-50 minutes until the potatoes break down.

6. Season with salt and pepper. Traditionally served with oatcakes or bread.
