Method
1. For the stew: preheat the oven to 170C/gas 3. In a large plastic bag combine the flour, mustard and a little salt and pepper. Add the beef and toss in the seasoned flour to coat.2. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the beef in batches for 6-8 minutes until brown, turning occasionally. Transfer to a large casserole dish.
3. Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and cook the onions and turnip for 3-4 minutes until brown. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, then transfer to the casserole dish with the beef.
4. Add the carrots to the casserole, then the stout or ale, tomatoes, honey and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook in the oven (or on the hob) for 2-3 hours or until the meat is tender.
5. For the bubble and squeak cakes: about 15 minutes before the stew is done, heat the butter in a small pan. Add the onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until soft but not brown. Set aside to cool.
6. Place the potatoes and cooked spring greens or cabbage in a large bowl. Add the fried onion and season. Mix thoroughly and shape into six firm cakes.
7. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan and cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the stew.
