Take the beef and cut into small chunks. In a medium saucepan heat the olive oil, add the diced beef and brown then pour over the water, add the stock cubes and bring to the boil.

Cover the pan and simmer for about 45 minutes - until the meat is tender.

Add the gravy granules to the pan to thicken the sauce.
