Oh yeah just look at that richness in the colour of the gravy and the pull apart tenderness of the beef, it looks so delicious.
Perfection on a plate.
I was wondering when the demi glace would come in to play and it didn't disappoint. I'll keep an eye out for the Bordeaux Margot. Lovely recipe John 👍🤤
Cheers.

Che piatto affascinante! 😍 Quel tocco da bistrot francese, con il vino rosso e le erbe, lo rende profondissimo e molto raffinato. Una ricetta che scalda il cuore… bravissimo davvero!
Look at the goodness!!! That does look so good!
That is a serious bottle of wine- I love that! If I'm honest I normally just go with something we like from Aldi. I think yours would be better! 😁
I was hoping you'd add the demi! Awesome work, this is soul food for me!
