Serve over mashed potatoes and use the “gravy”. Scrumptious, but expensive - instead of weight, just get 10 pieces. I used a bottle of Merlot. And it takes a while, I start it about 5 hours before I want to eat.

You might need to buy:
  • tomato paste
  • all-purpose flour
  • dry red wine
  • beef broth
  • Salt and pepper
  • olive oil

You can prepare this in advance (and refrigerate) up until the final step, when you bake for 30 minutes. Just be sure to bring the dish to room temperature before you throw it in the oven.
