BTW, the tamarind and leftover coconut milk is meant to go in about 15mins before end of cooking!

450ml beef stock
1 1/2 table spoons tomato puree
3 tablespoons double cream

Heat the butter and add the garlic, onion, carrots, mushrooms, and bacon. Fry for 15 mins. Add the minced beef and brown all over. Mix well and cook for 5 mins. Add the vermouth, continue cooking for 5 more mins. Mix in the beef stock and tomato puree, turn heat down, cover pot, and simmer for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Add the cream and mix it in 10 mins before the end of cooking
