Beef and Mushroom Ragout
Flavourful beef dish using cheaper cuts of meat. Cut off only the outside fat, marbling in the meat gives flavour. Do not worry about any gristle as it will dissolve into jelly in the long cooking time. Substitute gluten-free all purpose or rice flour for a gluten-free dish. Put any leftover wine into small plastic baby food containers and freeze. It is ready to use, no need to thaw, and no waste of good wine.

Very popular with the kids and adults - I don't own a slow cooker so I did 2.5hrs in the oven (started at 200deg and then reduced to 150deg) and it turned out perfect. - 22 Jul 2010
