Remarks
Preferably use soft cheeses such as goat cheese and Morbier, which will melt better when cooked.
Thyme goes very well with the cheeses I've used, feta and mozzarella, but if you're unsure about your cheese(s), leave it out.

Beef braised in reduced red wine
In classic recipes of this kind, the meat is simply cooked in the wine as it comes. This version is different: the red wine is reduced first separately on low heat with herbs, onion and carrot, then the meat is cooked long and slow in this. This method gives the meat a richer, more intense flavour. March 12th 201766 K3.8 3 hours 55 min.
