  • Stir in the tomato purée, return the beef to the dish, and add the bouquet garni.
  • Add the mushrooms and pour in enough wine to cover the meat.
  • Cover the dish and cook in the oven for three hours until the beef is tender.
  • Transfer the beef and shallots to a warm serving bowl using a slotted spoon.
  • Simmer the sauce on the hob and whisk in a mixture of flour and butter.
