Salt and pepper

25g plain flour

1-2 tbsp sunflower oil

675g shallots, peeled and left whole

2 large red peppers, cored, deseeded and cut into large chunks

1 bottle of good red wine

300ml good, hot beef stock

2 bay leaves (optional)

In a large zip lock bag, add seasoning, mixed herbs and flour and then add the beef in batches and toss in the seasoned flour.

Heat the oil in a casserole dish and brown the beef with the shallots.

Add the peppers, wine, stock and bay leaves, scraping the base of the dish to release any sediment. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and transfer to the oven at 170°C for 2-3 hours. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
