SLOW COOKED BEEF AND RED WINE RAGOUT

Slow Cooked Beef and Red Wine Ragout image

From a free cook book issued by Philadelphia (upon the purchase of 3 of their items). I'm hoping to make this in our winter (though a half recipe for 3 when the DH is on night shift due to his allergy issues with onions). Recommend you serve with cooked pasta.
