    That looks so familiar...comfort food!
    I believe we use plenty of Worcestershire in ours but no peas.
    And it can be done in a presure cooker too.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
    This is a variation

    This is quite like our Filipino version of Beef Caldereta that I am posting today, The baking is not with my method but I could try it using your method too. A different twist for me.
