Return the beef and juices to the pan and stir together for 1 minute on a high setting. Add 900ml of beef stock and 220ml of water. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes on a high heat, cover and place in a preheated oven for 4 hours. After cooking: If cooking rare, check the surface is fully seared/browned. Check food is piping hot. All cooking appliances vary. This is a guide only.
