Categories dinner, main course

Time 4h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 pounds brisket of beef, well trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pound fresh mushrooms, trimmed and cleaned
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups Beaujolais wine
1 cup beef stock or chicken stock
1 bay leaf
2 whole cloves
2 whole allspice

Steps:

Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the meat in one layer. Add the cubed beef and cook over medium heat, stirring until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the pieces of meat to a heavy cast-iron kettle, add the onions, garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add the flour. Blend well and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine, beef or chicken stock, bay leaf, cloves and allspice. Blend well and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, over low heat for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove bay leaf. Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

Tips:

To ensure the best flavor, select high-quality ingredients, including a well-marbled steak and a rich, flavorful red wine.
Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steak. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the steak with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.

Beaujolais steak is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to prepare. By following the tips above, you can create a perfect Beaujolais steak that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special meal to cook, give Beaujolais steak a try.
