## Ingredients

- 4 shallots
- 1 carrot
- 1 celery stick
- 6 Swiss brown mushrooms
- 2 tbsp neutral-flavoured oil
- 5 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 200 ml dark ale
- 1 rosemary stick
- 1 small bunch thyme
- 1 L beef stock

## Instructions

1. In a large pot over high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the shallots and a pinch of salt, then sweat down.
2. After 3-4 minutes, add the rest of the vegetables and cook until some colour starts to develop, then add the garlic.
3. Next, add the flour and tomato paste, stirring well. Cook this for 2-3 minutes to cook out the flour.
4. Now, add the ale, stirring well, and cook for a further 4 minutes before adding the herbs and then the stock.
5. Stir well, and then let it simmer for 40 minutes or until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.
