-
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
4 medium sized feather steaks
-
3 medium carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
-
12 small shallots, peeled
-
15 gram (½ ounce) butter

1 tablespoons plain flour
-
¾ bottle of red wine

Instructions
- 1 Pre-heat the oven to 170°C, 325°F, Gas Mark 3.
- 2 Heat 1 tbs of the oil in a large casserole dish over a high heat. Season the beef steaks with Salt and Pepper and brown on both sides, remove and then set aside.
- 3 Add the carrots and shallots to the casserole dish and fry until they begin to brown, remove from the pan.
- 4 Add the butter and stir until melted. Stir in the flour to form a roux and cook for around 5 minutes until it begins to brown.
