1.5 kilogram chuck steak, trimmed, cut into 3cm cubes

12 eschalots, peeled

4 rashers bacon, trimmed and chopped

Method

Beef bourguignon

1.Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a heavy-based saucepan on medium-high. Cook steak in batches for 2-3 minutes, until well browned. Set aside.

2.Heat remaining oil on high. Saute eschalots and bacon for 5 minutes, until browned.

3.Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in stock and wine. Return steak to pan with mushrooms and bay leaf.

4.Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour. Uncover and simmer for another 30 minutes, until meat is tender. Top with parsley and serve with crusty bread.

The long, slow cooking process will make the chuck steak tender. If you have less time, use a more tender cut of meat.
