    2. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    3. The next day, remove the beef from the fridge and pat dry with kitchen paper (discard the herbs and vegetables).
    4. Strain the marinade over a bowl, reserving the liquid.

    6. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the casserole and brown the beef in 2 batches.
    7. Return the vegetables and bacon to the casserole with the marinade and the stock. Season generously with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
    8. Add the Brandy, 2 sprigs of thyme, 1 strip of orange peel and the olives. Cover tightly and place in a preheated oven (140°C/Fan 120°C/Gas 1) for 3 hours, stirring once. Leave to cool then cover and refrigerate.
