...and reduce by 3/4.

Salt, pepper and incorporate 50 g butter one small piece at a time, while whisking.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Finish by incorporating 1 tablespoon cornflour to thicken the sauce, whisking all the time.

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Two-stage beef chuck
Cut the meat into individual portions and fry these on both sides in a little oil.

Stage 9 - 5 min.
Two-stage beef chuck
Serve each portion on a hot plate, with potato purée on the side and the red-wine sauce poured over.
Remarks
Chuck would be my choice for this, but you can use any other cut you like.

It doesn't matter if the beef has "stringy bits" left in it, as these will melt during the long, slow cooking.
Keeping
A few days in the fridge.
