Other Beef Stews Are Available

You know, this advert doesn't encourage me to buy the stuff in the packet, but to fiddle with this recipe of my own. And yes, you can cook it for 5 hours, but look at that beef! That is some excellent meat there, but you cook it for 5 hours, it's going to fall apart.

"But" you ask "is there a happy medium? Can I make excellent Boeuf Bourgignon without having to do all that work? I'm more of a sling things in a pot person, me." Why yes there is. Try this recipe from M & S using pre-prepared ingredients. Wait, cook slowly for three hours? Not five hours? How are we supposed to trust Marks and Spencer now? It's not like the old days.
