* Add the Shallots to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes to colour
* Return the Beef to the dish and Deglaze the pan with the Wine and a wooden spatula
* Add the remaining ingredients and mix well
* So there is a really good seal, cover with tin-foil then replace the lid
* Place in the oven and slow-cook for 3½ hours
