Date and Beef Stew

Preheat the oven to 160C. Heat 1.5 tbsp of oil in a casserole dish and dust the beef in seasoned flour. Fry in batches, browning all over, before setting aside on a plate. Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the onion and carrots for 8 mins to soften, then add the dates and ginger and cook for 3 mins more.
Return the meat to the pan with the stock, soy sauce and star anise. Cover with the lid and place in the oven for 1 hour, then remove the lid and cook for an hour more, stirring every 15 mins or so. If the sauce needs thickening, cook for a few mins on the hob to reduce further. Serve with mash or sticky rice and enjoy!
