Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions, finely diced
  • 112 lb(675 g) lean beef, cut into 12 in (1cm) dice
  • 8 garlic cloves, finely diced
  • 114 cups red wine
  • 2 x 28 oz (800 g) cans chopped tomatoes
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan, add the onions, and cook on a medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the beef and cook, stirring frequently, for another 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then pour in the wine and allow to simmer and reduce for 5 minutes.
