stupid me

I prepared Beef Bouguignon yesterday . I had put it in the oven for 4 hours at 225F. However, it was tough. I panicked and took it out of the oven to cool. I didn't even allow for the fact that it was probably not cooked enough. Anyhow, I reheated it today and put it back in the oven at 200F. I plan on leaving it there for an hour or more.
How wrong is this? Is this salvageable?
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks!

RE: stupid me

Providing you cooled it properly, it is fine to reheat and finish the cooking process. Cook the dish until it is fork tender, which means it may take more than 1 hour. You may want to refresh yourself and watch the Combination Cooking and Stewing lessons in the Cooking School. Cheers!
