The hands-on prep takes just 15 minutes, but then the beef needs about 2.5 hours to become incredibly tender and flavorful—making this a perfect comfort dish for a leisurely weekend.

Brown everything
Fry the bacon in oil until golden brown, then remove it. In the same fat, brown the beef in batches, making sure to cook it in just a single layer each time. Remove the meat too, then brown the onion and carrot in the same pan.

Add the wine, herbs and tomato purée
