- Mix together sal, crushed black pepper and 1/2 cup [70 g] of flour; coat beef cubes with a mixture.
- Arrange beef cubes on the bottom of an iron cast casserole or a slow cooking casserole.
- Add minced garlic, onion slices, drained mushroom slices and minced celery.
- Mix together Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste with beef broth concentrate.
- Pour over meat and vegetables; mix well.
- Cover casserole and cook slowly in the fireplace or the stove over low heat for 5 to 6 hours, or in a slow-cooker on low for 7 to 12 hours.
- One hour before serving, move the casserole to a warmer spot in the fireplace, higher heat on the stove or put slow-cooker on high.
- Mix remaining flour into red wine to get a smooth paste.
- Stir into meat and vegetables mixture; cook until thickened.
- If an iron cast casserole is used, pour mixture immediately into a covered soup serving bowl, as wine should not be left standing into an iron cast casserole.
- Serve along with noodles, already coated with melted butter.
