Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C or 140°C fan-assisted (gas 3).
In a heavy based casserole dish over medium-high heat sear the beef and onions until nicely browned, remove and keep to one side.
Add the tomato paste, mustard, herbs and stout and reduce by 50% then pour over the stock, bring to a boil and thicken with the corn flour mix before placing the beef and onions back in the casserole dish.
Place in the oven covered and braise for approximately 3 hours, until the beef is tender when pierced with a skewer.
Remove the beef & onions from the gravy, place on a warmed deep serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the gravy until you reach a rich sauce like consistency, season to taste then pass the gravy over the beef and onions.
