  3. Meanwhile, trim the beef and cut into bite-size pieces.
  4. Season the flour and toss the beef in it until each piece is well covered.
  5. Add to the pan and fry briskly for 3-4 minutes or until the flour is turning brown.
  6. Add the wine and the stock, stirring well to make sure that you get all the burnt bits off the bottom of the pan.
  7. Reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer gently for 1 hour.
  8. Trim the beans and cut into short pieces.
  9. Add to the beef and continue to cook gently for another 15 minutes or until the beans are softened but still slightly crispy.
