  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (gas 3). Cook the bacon in a large flame-proof casserole over a medium heat for 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove the bacon, drain on kitchen paper, then cut into pieces.

  2. Add the oil to the bacon fat left in the casserole, heat, then add the beef, turning it until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Add the carrots, onions, and garlic to the casserole and cook in the meat drippings for about 8 minutes until lightly browned.

  4. Stir in the tomatoes, then return the meat to the casserole and pour in the wine and stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat. Cover with foil and then to create a tight seal with the lid. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 hour, turning the meat once.

  5. Remove the casserole from the oven and add the potatoes and half the basil. Top up the liquid level if necessary with a little more stock. Return to the oven and cook for a further hour or until the beef and vegetables are tender. Put the bacon in the oven on a heatproof plate for 5 minutes to warm through.

  6. Slice the beef, arrange on a serving platter with the vegetables and keep warm. Put the casserole on the hob on a medium heat. Blend the cornflour with 2 tbsp cold water, then stir into the liquid and bring to the boil. Stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Ladle over the beef and vegetables and sprinkle over the bacon and remaining basil.
