Steps:

• For the overnight marinade:.
• Put the pork pieces in a casserole with a lid.
• Chop the onions roughly, and add half to the pot.
• Put in 2 bay leaves and and distribute the twigs of thyme around the pot.
• Pour 3/4 (about 1 1/2 pints) of a bottle of red wine (best option is an inexpensive fruity red wine!) over the meat etc in the pot. Put the lid on it, and leave it until the following day.
• The following day, lift out the meat with a slotted spoon, and put it in a colander over the casserole, to drain a bit. Lift out the other ingredients and discard them. Keep the wine.
• If you will be using the same pot, just drain off the wine into a bowl, rinse the pot, dry it, and heat it over medium heat.
• Add a little oil.
• Put the other half of the roughly chopped onion into the oil. Add the chopped garlic, and cook both till a little bit golden. Lift out with a slotted spoon.
• Dry the meat with paper towels.
• Put the meat into a bag with 1 cup of flour, and shake the bag till the meat is coated.
• Begin to brown the meat over medium high heat. Don't do all at once, because if you do they won't brown, they will begin to stew in juice. Brown them in small batches, and lift out with a slotted spoon as they brown.
• When all have been browned, return all the meat and the onion and garlic to the pan.
• Add a little of the flour (1 tablespoon) to ensure a somewhat thick sauce.
• Add 2 bay leaves.
• Pour the reserved wine over the meat. Pour the rest of the wine (this will be about 1 1/2 pints) over the meat.
• The liquid should cover the meat. If it doesn't, add some water or bouillon.
• Cook this covered over low heat for at least two hours, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
• Add more thyme if desired. The sauce will thicken and become reduced.
• You can cook this on the stove over low heat or in an oven at 325F or less.
• I like to cook meat slowly over low heat, so I cook this for almost 4 hours!
• Prepare dried, thick sliced toast: Take a clove of fresh garlic, and just scrape the garlic lightly over both sides of the toast.
• Ladle the meat and sauce over the toasts.

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large lidded casserole dish. Heat the sunflower oil in a large heavy-based frying pan until practically smoking and fry the pork until a dark brown all over. Add the pork to the marinade and leave to marinate in the fridge for 24 hrs.
• The next day, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Remove the pork from the marinade and set aside. Place the marinade over a high flame and bring to the boil. Boil for 15 mins, skimming off any foam from the surface. Add the stock and bring back to the boil, then add the meat. Put on the lid, or tightly cover the casserole with foil, and put into the oven to cook for 3 hrs turning the meat halfway through.
• Lift out the pork and keep somewhere warm. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a clean pan. Bring to the boil, then boil to reduce for about 15-20 mins. Check the seasoning before serving with the gravy.

Steps:

• In a large bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the Cognac, the beef and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 325 degrees.
• In a wide, heavy casserole with a tight-fitting lid, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add onions, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, orange zest and 2 big pinches salt; stir well to coat and heat through. Reduce heat to low, cover, and sweat (cook without browning) for 8 to 10 minutes, until onions and garlic are softened.
• Add beef and its marinade, tomatoes, wine, bouquet garni and peppercorns. Stir to combine.
• Cover and bake in the center of the oven until meat is ultratender, 3 to 4 hours. There is no need to stir or baste, but check from time to time to make sure the liquid is at a very gentle simmer; boiling will make the meat tough.
• When the stew is ready, adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Or, refrigerate overnight or longer, skim any hardened fat from the top, and reheat before serving.
• Serve over hot pasta, garnished with parsley and orange zest, if desired.
