INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the meat to
marinade, stir well to ensure that all the beef is coated. Leave meat
in the marinade for as long as possible. The secret of this dish lies
in the time allowed for marinading and the long, slow cooking that
follows.  Place the meat, together with the marinade into a heavy
casserole.  Sift in the flour. Add the tomatoes and mushrooms. Cover
with the  beef stock and set to cook on lowest temperature possible,
for two to  three hours or until the meat is tender. During cooking,
taste for  acidity and add a pinch or two of sugar, if necessary.  A
little cream may be added to the stew at the end of the cooking
period, if desired.  Serve with boiled potatoes.  Recipe by: Egoli
