1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a slow cooker on high sear or a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add beef in small batches, until well browned on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside until required.
2. Add shallots to the same pan and brown on all sides. Set aside until required.
3. Heat remaining oil to same pan over a medium low heat. Add bacon, carrot, celery, onion and garlic, stirring until well coated. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until onion is soft. Add flour, stirring to combine.
4. Return browned beef to pan with stock, wine, tomato paste, olives, thyme, rosemary and zest. Slowly bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 4 hours on fast slow cook setting or 8 hours on slow setting until gravy has thickened.
5. For the mash potato, steam potatoes for 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain saucepan and return potatoes to the pan. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash potatoes until smooth. Return pan to a medium heat, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, to help the mashed potato dry out.
