- Add red wine and, if desired, gravy browning.
- Cook until sauce thickens. Add seasonings. (Seasonings may be added together in a cheese cloth. Remove before adding mushrooms.)
- Pour sauce over beef in the insert pan. Sauce should cover the beef, if not, add more wine or consomme.
- Cover with tight-fitting lid or foil and simmer in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 2-3 hours or until meat is tender. Stir from time to time during cooking and if sauce becomes too thick, add more wine or consomme.

- Check seasonings and serve hot with buttered noodles or rice pilaf.
