Trim large bits of fat from the beef and dice into 1.3cm chunks. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add half of the beef and sear until lightly browned, then remove. Repeat with the second batch.

Lower heat to medium and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Fry the diced onion and garlic until soft and starting to pick up some color.

Add 3 tbsp flour to the pot and stir to coat the onion and garlic. Gradually whisk in 125ml red wine until it forms a thick paste. Slowly pour in the beef stock while whisking to prevent lumps.

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, and the crumbled Oxo cube. Return the browned beef to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 80 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then allow to cool to room temperature.
