Love Eating Well:

This dish clocks in at under a third of the Reference Intake (RI) for calories, sugar, salt, fat and saturated fat for an adult … and are made just like you would at home.

Depending on what and how much you serve with the dish, it may creep over a third of your RI. But that shouldn’t be an issue if it’s your main meal of the day.

Winner of numerous Great Taste Awards, this French classic is one of our most popular dishes
British top rump beef, aged for at least 21 days, is braised for almost four hours, and about a glass of Merlot in every portion
Available in 1, 2, 4 and 8-portion sizes

Try it with:

Celeriac mash. Fry small cubes of celeriac in oil for 5 mins, then add thyme and rosemary, cover with water and simmer for 25 minutes until soft. Drain and mash
Some steamed asparagus spears, tenderstem or purple sprouting broccoli, kale or French beans all work wonderfully on the side
Try roasting some shallots in the oven with a dressing of balsamic vinegar, sea salt, demerara sugar and olive oil. 180 degrees for 15 minutes and they're ready

How We Make It At Our Kitchen

Top rump beef is braised for up to four hours in onions, garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves and enough red wine to float a battleship (there's around a glass of French Merlot in each and every portion)
Then it's time for the smoked bacon, sauteed cup mushrooms and caramelised shallots
