Italian Family Style Braised Beef

The ingredients and flavours in this dish make for a great change of scenery from the usual Sunday roast beef. It's a hearty one-pot wonder, which is easy to prepare yet sure to impress. For even more of an Italian twist, add a large handful of wild mushrooms for the last 15 minutes of the cooking time if liked.
