Put in the onion and boil it rapidly, uncovered, until the stock has reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Put in the pieces of beef and stir them on the heat until they have browned all over.

Pour in the remaining stock and bring it to the boil.

Put in the mushrooms and herbs. Cover the casserole and put it into the oven for 1 ¼ hours or until the beef is tender.
