Add 1 tbsp oil to same dish cook the onion, 2 garlic cloves, carrot and celery for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the orange juice and zest, wine, stock, vanilla bean and seeds, sugar, bay leaves and thyme. Bring to the boil and return beef to the dish. Remove from heat, cover surface with a circle of baking paper and cover with a lid or foil.
