Mediterranean Beef Stew

@arecipe.bsky.social

This is a hearty and flavoursome beef stew inspired by the Mediterranean. It is based on a dish cooked by Keith Floyd in his Floyd around the Med TV series. The olives make this a filling meal in itself, but it could be served with rice or simply with bread to mop-up the gravy.
