Bistro Beef Stew

Super tasty!!!! I really liked it a lot, even though I sort of threw it together and it was my first time properly braising anything before it went in old Harriet (my slow-cooker),

I will say that I didn't use the Cab it called for; all I had was a spaggy old Tempranillo that'd been open for a while, but it tasted wonderful all the same. I also didn't have a proper orange for the zest at the end; I had some satsumas, but I think the flavor would have been better with a good navel.

Also, it definitely tasted better the next day, reheated with a bit of beef broth added. So I'd make ahead next, for sure!
