Braised beef in red wine

A rich and tasty dish that is good enough for a dinner party, yet easy enough for an informal supper. Can easily adapt for a slow cooker and the flavours will improve if cooked in advance.

A whole bottle of wine was too much, when I make it again I shall use less and button mushrooms - 14 Feb 2011

Very easy to make and very tasty too. I didn't use a whole bottle of wine as I think that would've been too much. I used a crock-pot and 6 hours on low was just right. - 07 Aug 2011

Really lovely, all my guests ate it up quickly with some garlic-infused mashed potato and some fresh green beans. Will definately make this again. - 14 Sep 2011
