    Made this last night for dinner, was amazing! Thank you ??
    * i didnt sear the meat (too lazy)

    This is amazing. I doubled the recipe and used chuck steak. I seared the meat first and followed all steps which was all worth the wonderful taste. Served on a garlic mash with crusty sourdough

  3. I made this on the weekend – didn’t follow method fully – chucked everything in – skipped the browning & coating in flour due to time restraints. Also omitted red wine as I didn’t have a bottle open. Sprinkled a small amount of gravox in at the end to thicken. Was absolutely delicious. Leftovers the next day were amazing too as the flavours really intensified.

  4. Cooked the braised steak and onions yesterday with mash potato and green veg…. it was very nice …even better today I had it on a toasted sandwich thank you ?

  5. Omg wow cooked this and followed instructions other than the red wine as unfortunately I didn’t have any. Delicious my daughter who is very picky devoured it and requested I make it again and could I make more of it next time. ?
