Boeuf à la mode, or near enough

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Take the meat out of the fridge an hour before cooking it.

    Peel the carrots and onions and cut them into rounds.

    Brown the meat and the onions in a little oil.

    Add a heaped tablespoon of flour and stir until it’s well blended throughout.

    Pour in the white wine and the stock. Add the thyme and bay, season with salt and pepper.

    Add the carrots and the prunes and leave to cook for at least 3 hours. Reheated the next day, this dish will be even better.
