This popular, tasty meal can be easily made with a Happycall vacuum pot. You can stir fry and stew all in one pot. The vacuum function helps release the full taste of the beef and red wine sauce without losing too much water. The demonstrator cooked the food for 30 minutes and then let the dish sit for 1.5 hours.

If you use a different cut of beef or another kind of meat, you may need to extend the cooking time. Cook until the meat is tender.
