Step 1
Shot. Beef and molasses stew: weighed ingredients beside the heating pan. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo. Show the action, then a jump cut through the wait. Do not film the full Heat 5 min in real time.
Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Beef and molasses stew. Heat to 325°F / 163°C in the oven, or a quiet simmer on the stove and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh beef sirloin, yellow onion, carrot, low-sodium beef broth, molasses, fresh thyme, potato, kosher salt, olive oil. Beef and molasses stew is cooked in Pub as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Brown the beef, then braise it with onion, carrot, broth, and molasses until the sauce is dark. Broth and molasses stand in for stout. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

If it goes wrong
