A Taste of Harmony

Ingredients

• ¼ cup oil
• 1 kg diced beef
• 1/3cup plain flour
• 8 pickling onions (or 4 baby onions, halved)
• 250g button mushrooms
• 4 rashers bacon, sliced
• 420g can Heinz Condensed Vegetable & Beef Soup
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Method

Heat half the oil in a large heavy based saucepan. Coat beef in flour and cook in batches over a medium heat until browned. Set aside. Heat remaining oil, cook onion, mushrooms and bacon for 5 minutes, or until golden. Add Heinz soup, red wine, 1 cup water and thyme. Mix well. Bring to boil. Return beef to pan. Simmer, covered for 1 ½ hours or until meat is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove thyme before serving. Hint: Alternately, cook in an ovenproof dish at 160ºC for 2 hours.
