A beef Bourguignon that has been a firm favourite in my family for years. Stewing steak is marinated first in red wine and herbs for maximum flavour. Serve with mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.

This recipe was sent to me by a member of our social networking site http://thethermalcook.ning.com/ . Natalie bought a thermal cooker from me a couple of months ago and this was one of the recipes she has impressed her husband and friends by making in it. The brandy was not in the original but I have found it gives a great depth of flavour. You can of course leave it out if you wish.

Personally, I love to cook my stews in bulk and freeze some portions. This recipe was given to me by an elderly French lady I used to take lessons from.

This French beef stew is the perfect meal for dinner guests - I usually braise the meat the day before and cook it the next day completely, as it tastes great the next day. Serve this beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes and a good bottle of French Burgundy!

I enjoy making this rich beef stew in winter, when it's cold and dark outside after 4 o'clock! It requires slow cooking on low heat so you don't boil the meat. Serve with a baguette for soaking up all the sauce.
