As with many "traditional" recipes that usually come from mothers and grandmothers and even great grandmothers, most of them are very good, as I think this 1 is, you be the judge. You will see I've added lager to the beef stock ingredient this is up to you but I think it brings a great addition if you do use this and enjoy it please take a photo and add to the recipe thank you
