I went off-piste a bit and liquidised the carrots and the onion I had cooked the beef with (could not bear to throw them away), and added to the pot before putting back in the oven with the diced carrots, shallots and lardons.....
However it turns out, it will allow me to refine/fix/alter for next time.....

@Giles I make a version of this where I do an entire round of vegetables with the beef, and wait until the beef is nearly done (so the vegetables are almost beyond recognition at this point) and remove the beef and push all of the vegetables through a fine mesh strainer. When I get it right, it eliminates the need for any thickener. I'll then add a new round of carrots, mushrooms, and pearl onions to make it look pretty. Add the beef back and wait until everything is tender, and serve.
The Serious Eats recipe you're using is solid. If you want to try another solid version, Julia Child's is a no-brainer. Bourdain's is great too.
How was it in the end?

It worked out extremely well thanks. I think for next time, I will use the same recipe but forgo the gelatin and cook a few more veg with the beef and purée those as a thickener as per your suggestion.
The next, next time I will try the Julia Childs version....
