"This is based on a recipe from a national supermarket, with some tweaking from us to suit dietary needs (we omitted onion and celery, if using only use 1 carrot. Prep time includes initial cooking up of beef. It also freezes well. You could also stretch this to 10 or 12 serves if served with a side salad and crusty or garlic bread."

With extra's for dinner, there were mixed reviews with this recipe. I made exactly as written, and 3 really liked this recipe and 3 enjoyed but said it need a little extra flavour. I used a home made beef stock, so maybe that was where the flavour was missing, so next time I will buy one. I cooked for 4 hours and at about 3 hours did not think the meat would shred, but to my surprise it did! Served with Parmesan and crusty bread this made for a nice dinner.
