Broad Bean, Beef & Mushroom Casserole

I made this up on the spot, so bear with me. All measurements are approximate. Serves 3-4

350g frying steak, cut into 1" cubes (mine was £1.70 in Lidl)
3 shallots, peeled & halved
100g chestnut mushrooms, quartered
couple of beefy Oxo cubes
dollop of Marmite
splash of mushroom ketchup or soy sauce
75ml red wine
100g dried & soaked pulses, or 400g can: Puy lentils/kidney beans/haricot
handful or 2 of fresh broad beans (or sliced French beans)
1 tbsp oil

1) fry the steak in the oil until browned
2) add shallots, fry for a couple of mins. Add wine & bring to boil.
3) add everything else except fresh beans. Stir through, reduce heat and simmer for an hour until meat is tender.
4) add fresh beans for the last 5 mins of cooking time.

Serve with new potatoes.
