Critical Success Points

  • Searing the beef without crowding the pot
  • Deglazing with port wine to capture fond
  • Thickening with flour via fine‑mesh strainer early in the cooking process
  • Low, slow simmer for 2½ hours to achieve tenderness

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and the hot pot with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • When deglazing with alcohol, keep the flame low and stand back from vapors.
