Method

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 150°C. Place flour in a bowl. Season. Add beef. Toss to coat. Heat half the oil in a large heavy-based casserole pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, in 2 batches, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until browned. Transfer to a bowl.

STEP 2

Add half the remaining oil to the pan. Add the brown mushroom. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until browned. Add to the beef in the bowl. Heat remaining oil in the pan. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Stir in garlic. Return the beef mixture to pan. Add dried mushrooms, if using, wine, tomato and bay leaves. Bring to the boil. Bake, loosely covered, turning beef occasionally, for 2 hours or until the beef is falling off the bone. Season.

STEP 3

To make the orange gremolata, combine the orange zest, thyme, parsley and garlic in a small bowl.

STEP 4

Divide the polenta among serving bowls. Spoon over the beef mixture. Sprinkle with gremolata. Serve with beans and peas.
