  4. Sprinkle over the flour, stir, and pour in the stock while scraping the bottom of the pan.
  5. Return the meat, add the mustard and bay leaves, then cover and simmer gently for forty minutes.
  6. Boil the potatoes in salted water, then serve the meat coated in its sauce with the potatoes sprinkled with parsley.
