Introduction

This is taken from Nora Ephron's novel Heartburn. Ephron's heroine and alter-ego, Rachael, does this as a whole pot-roasted piece of beef fillet. I do it as a beef casserole instead.

Ingredients

Serves: 4

cubed chuck steak (or beef bolar blade)
1 can mushroom soup (cream of)
1 packet french onion soup mix
1 large finely chopped onion
3 cloves crushed garlic
2 cups red wine
2 cups water
bouquet garni
1 crushed bay leaf
oil
flour (seasoned)
