  • 1 can 14.5 ounces beef broth
  • 1 can of water*

  • Stir in chopped tomatoes, cook for another 2 mins.
  • Add wine and cook for 4 mins or until slightly reduced.

  • Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5-2hrs, until meat is tender.

Notes

*We add the can of water because we like the stew with a bit more liquid. If you prefer less liquid, don't add the water. Also, if you’d like your onions on the fire side, add them in with 1hr remaining.
