Braised beef

[droverjess]

I made this Mary Berry recipe today with a few adaptions.

http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/recipes/3280/easy-bristol-beef

I used 2 slices of chuck steak, uncut but trimmed. Approx 900 grams.

Browned well put in bottom of large round cast iron casserole.
4 onions cut into 6's and lightly browned.
4 large carrots cut in half lengthwise and chunked
450gms of Judy Dawns tomato soup http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10210.0
Bottom 2 inches of leftover red wine
1 tsp  veg stock concentrate
2 heaped T flour,
S &P
Dried thyme

Heat soup, add flour and some water to make a thick gravy.
Pour over beef and vegs and bring to boil. Add thyme and S & P.
Put in oven.
170 for 40 mins then 140 for 2 - 3 hours.
Could use slow cooker, or lower temp for longer.

In last ten minutes add 1 large mug of frozen peas.

Break large pieces of meat apart and mix peas through gravy just before serving.

Served with Foccacia and cauliflower for extra vegetable.

Pronounced delicious.

Served 4 with enough for 3 - 4 more going in freezer.
