This was a recipe for 6 people which we did our best to scale down. But it’s still going to be a 4 portion gig for us. We’re having the remainders is big Gluten free Yorkshire Puddings tonight. So although the ingredients initially broke budget, the number of servings brings it back.
Ingredients:-
400g of Beef Skirt
20g of Dried Mushrooms (We used the last of our foraged Pine Bolete which we dried using the dehydrate function in the Air Fryer)
1 Onion, sliced

4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
175ml of very cheap Red Wine

300ml of Beef Stock

We’ve decided to create a series of Winter Warmers because we enjoy having a theme. As a starting point this was pretty good…..
