How to make it
- Pour two tablespoons of oil and butter into a large pot, heat to a medium high temperature and add the Beef;
- Cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes, until the cubes are browned on all sides;
- Remove meat and set aside and pour the juices into the stock;
- Add other 2tbsp oil and gently fry the pancetta for 3 minutes until golden but not crispy;
- Add the shallots, leek and garlic and cook for a further 1 minute;
- Add the carrot, celery, red pepper and tomatoes and continue cooking for a further 4 minutes or so until all slightly softened;
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring for a minute to mix well;
- Return the meat to the pot with the thyme, bay and wine. Bring to the boil and reduce the wine by about half;
- Add the Stock with a few turns of pepper mill, again bring to boil and then simmer for 1 to 2 hours checking regularly after an 1½ hours until the Beef is soft and tender (If it becomes too thick add a little water and cover for a bit);
- Taste for seasoning and remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
