Ingredients

olive oil

2 red onions, peeled and roughly chopped

3 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

3 sticks of celery, trimmed and roughly chopped

4 cloves of garlic, unpeeled

a few sprigs of fresh rosemary

2 bay leaves

a small handful of dried porcini

1 cinnamon stick

1kg shin of beef, preferably free-range or organic, bone removed, trimmed and cut into 5cm/2 inch pieces

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon flour

2 x 400g tins good-quality plum tomatoes

⅔ of a bottle of Chianti

Top Tip

Delicious served with some mashed root veg – like carrots, potatoes, a bit of swede, some turnips – but you could also serve it with straight mash, polenta or bubble and squeak (you know, fried veg and potatoes, cockney-London style!) and some nice buttered cabbage or spinach.

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. In a heavy-bottomed ovenproof saucepan, heat a splash of olive oil and gently fry the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, herbs, porcini and cinnamon for 5 minutes until softened slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, toss the pieces of beef in a little seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Add the meat to the pan and stir everything together, then add the tomatoes, wine and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Gently bring to the boil, cover with a double-thickness piece of tinfoil and a lid and place in your preheated oven for 3 hours or until the beef is meltingly tender and can be broken up with a spoon.
  5. Taste and check the seasoning, remove the cinnamon stick and rosemary sprigs and serve.
