Zingy Spring Stew

After several months of non-compliance, we are back on the wagon. But the seasons have moved on and the last thing I feel like at the moment are autumnal and winter dishes. Coupled with a new kitchen (in a new home), my inspiration has returned and I decided to bring back my beloved stew but in a fresh form. It's already smelling good, but it's for tomorrow so no idea if the taste will match. Here's to hoping.

If you can trust me on smell alone, here is what I bunged into a oven-proof casserole 1,5 hours ago.

Diced stewing steak
1 whole leek
2 celery stalks
Coriander seeds
Fennel seeds
Peppercorns
Bay leaves
Fresh rosemary
Fresh thyme
White wine
Paired zest from one lemon

Let me know if it works for you. Bon appetit!
