Oil for browning the meat
1. Brown the pieces of meat—generously salted and peppered—on all sides in a little oil. Remove from pan.

3 Return the meat to the pan with the veggies and add liquids and all seasonings. Make sure liquids go 1/2 of the way to cover the meat. If not, add more stock and or wine.
4. Cover and simmer for at least three hours.
