beef flaps
mushroom sauce
ketchup
red wine or port
some beef stock
bay leafs
onions
garlic
salt & pepper
flower

Preheat the oven at 150 degrees Celsius.
Season the meat in a low roasting tray or low oven dish with the salt and pepper. Dust it with some flower. leave it.
Cut up the onions in rather thick half moon slices. These will nicely melt away in the sauce while stewing in the oven. Put them on top of the meat with some garlic cloves and the bay leaves.
Boil the kettle and get 2 dl of water and desolve a beef stock cube in it. Then add to that 2 spoons full of mushroom sauce (from a chinese toko or bazaar) and 2 spoons full of ketchup. Give it a good stir.
Now add the fluid to the meat. Cover the oven dish with tin foil and put in the oven for at least 2 hours at 150 degrees Celsius.  

Because of the flower the sauce will thicken. Serve up with some pasta, mashed potatoes or rice. Bake of some mushrooms or roast some pumkin slices to serve with it.

A nice hearty autums dish!
