- Melt the butter in a hot frying-pan, place the pieces of meat in this and allow them to brown on all sides.
- Empty the meat from the frying-pan into the casserole.
- Cook the onion, carrot, and parsley for about ten minutes in the frying-pan, adding a little butter if necessary to prevent burning.

- Add the Soup Stock or hot water, a little at a time, stirring constantly, and cook until the mixture thickens and boils.
- Pour the contents of the frying-pan over the meat in the casserole, cover the casserole, and place it in a slow oven to cook for three hours.
- Peel the potatoes, cut them into small pieces, and brown them in the frying-pan with a little melted butter.
- Add the potato and tomato to the contents of the casserole at the beginning of the last half-hour of cooking.
- Remove the cover from the casserole and increase the heat during the last fifteen minutes of cooking.
- Remarks
