Ingredients

1 Qbag®
250g Good quality steak sliced into pieces
(approximately 5mm x 15mm)
1 Carrot sliced
Tablespoon plain flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Finely chopped red onion
2 Cloves of garlic peeled and finely chopped
1 Stick of celery
3 Chestnut mushrooms sliced
2 Sprigs fresh thyme
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Cup red wine
1 Beef stock cube mixed with half cup of warm water

Recipe

Mix the steak with the flour and seasoning, ensure the meat is evenly coated. Heat the oil in a pan, add carrot, chopped onion, celery, garlic, cook for 2 minutes over a high heat, remove the vegetables from the pan and place in a bowl, leaving a little oil in the pan. Flash fry the meat to seal and brown it in the remaining oil, then remove meat from the pan and put with vegetables in the bowl.

Pour wine into the pan and reduce to half volume over the heat, add the mixed beef stock, all the vegetables, meat, mushrooms and thyme, once mixed place contents from the pan into a bowl. For best results marinate
for a couple of hours before cooking in the oven or on the barbeque (ensure mixture is cool before putting in the fridge).

When ready to cook place contents from the bowl into the Qbag, and fold the open end down twice pressing firmly
