1. Source a piece of beef shin and leave whole, remove the sinew. Dust the beef in some seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Heat some oil and butter in large heavy bottomed saucepan, once hot add the beef and cook it until a nut brown colour. Remove the beef from the pan and place to one side.
2. Pour the wine into the same pan you have cooked the beef in and allow it to cook for a couple of minutes to burn off the alcohol. Add the vegetables, stock, tomatoes and sugar, return the meat to the pan and cover. Allow the meat to cook very gently for a minimum of 3 hours. This can either be cooked on the top of the stove or in a very low temperature oven, the key to this is the slower the better.
3. When cooking is complete, (the meat should be really tender), gently lift the meat out of the pan and place to one side.
4. Pass the sauce or meat juice through a fine sieve. Pour the sauce back into the pan and reduce the heat slightly.
5. Taste and season if necessary.
6. To serve mash
Boil potatoes until soft, sieve, add butter a little cream and mash until smooth. Season to taste.
