 Ingredients List

  • 30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • 800g (1¾ lbs) beef braising steak
  • 12 shallots, peeled
  • 10ml (2 tsp) ground allspice
  • 250ml (1 cup) red wine
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes or 800g (1¾ lbs) fresh tomatoes, peeled and seeded

  • 15ml (1 tbsp) sugar [optional]

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/fan 130°C/300°F/gas mark 2.

2. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof dish over a high heat. Add a third of the beef and cook for 5 minutes until well browned. Set aside on a plate and repeat to brown the remaining meat.

3. Add the shallots to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until just starting to colour.
