Subj : Beef In Red Wine To : All From : Ben Collver Date : Tue Jan 02 2024 13:40:53 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Beef In Red Wine With Melting Onions Categories: Beef, British Yield: 4 Servings 25 g Butter 2 lg Onions; sliced into rings 6 cl Garlic; halved 3 tb Plain flour 600 g Beef skirt or slices of -shin; cut into large chunks 2 tb Olive or rapeseed oil 3 Bay leaves 400 ml Red wine 1 tb Tomato puree 300 ml Strong beef stock 250 g Mushrooms; halved Parsley; chopped; to serve, -(optional) Heat oven to 150 C / 130 C fan / gas 2. In a large, heavy-based flameproof casserole dish with a lid, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cook for 10 minutes until starting to brown, then transfer to a small plate. Put the flour in a large plastic food bag with plenty of black pepper. Add half the beef, shake to coat, then remove, leaving some flour in the bag. Add the rest of the beef and shake to coat in the remaining flour. Heat the oil in the same casserole dish you cooked the onions in (there's no need to clean it first). Add the beef and bay leaves, and fry until the meat is browned all over. Pour in the wine and return the onions to the dish. Add the tomato puree and stock, stir and return to a simmer. Cover with the lid and put in the oven to stew for 1 hour. After 1 hour, add the mushrooms and return to the oven for another hour. Taste the meat--if it's tender, remove from the oven. If it's still a little firm, cook for 30 minutes more and test again. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like. Recipe by BBC Good Food Magazine, Nov 2015 MMMMM .
