Ingredients list for the Red Wine Beef Stew Recipe
Serves 6 – 8 :
- 2 1/2 lbs (1,2 kg) of beef (chuck or round cuts)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 peppercorns
- 3 carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 5 tomatoes
- 1 bottle red wine (I used slightly sweet wine)
- Salt
Cooking instructions
1. Cut meat into regular cubes.
2. Heat oil in a medium-sized casserole. Sauté the meat over high heat, letting it stick a bit on each side to caramelize (do not turn the meat too much). I encourage you to use cast iron cookware because this material allows to heat the food evenly, which is crucial when cooking a low temperature. Check out our resource article about cast iron cookware for more information.
3. Once the meat is browned, sprinkle with flour, stir, and add bay leaves and peppercorns.
4. Then add carrots and celery, peeled and cut into large chunks. Sauté for a few minutes.
5. Now add the wine to cover the meat by 3/4, then add washed and diced tomatoes.
6. Cover, leaving still a little opening to let steam out, and simmer (over low heat) for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with potatoes or buttered noodles. Enjoy!
