To Make Crust
To serve
1
Preheat oven to 180°C.
2
To make filling, heat a splash of olive oil in a frying-pan and gently fry bacon.
3
Once crisp, remove from pan and set aside.

In the same pan, gently fry onions until golden brown all over. (A traditional Boeuf Bourguignon leaves them whole.)

Remove onions from pan and set aside with the bacon.

Using the same pan, brown mince. Pour red wine in slowly.
7
Get it to bubble as it hits the pan and the alcohol will evaporate, leaving the rich flavours behind.
8
Stir through herbs, mushrooms and orange zest.
9
Add stock and stir well.
10
Cover dish and put in oven for 30-40 minutes.
11
Take dish out of oven and remove bay leaf.
12
Take a few tablespoons of liquid and mix with flour and butter to form a paste.
13
Stir paste into meat mixture in pan and you’ll have a delicious, thick gravy.
14
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
